MANEA anea Action for Climate Change (MACC)
is a loose network including anyone in
ACTION MManea (and some in surrounding areas)
who wants to take action and share ideas of how
we can tackle climate change as a community.
There are things we can do, no matter how small,
FOR that not only help the environment but can either
make us money or save us money, helping to
build a community we can be proud of.
CLIMATE What we’ve done so far:
• January 13th was the first successful
CHANGE brainstorming meeting sharing all our ideas.
• Facebook page set up - search for Manea
Action for Climate Change (MACC).
• Manea Eco Warriors set up for children of the
village, facilitated by Alex Robinson who is our
hugely experienced Guide Leader.
• February 13th - Composting and Growing
meeting! Inspiring talk by Margaret and Susan.
• Recycling points updated – we now have 3
recycling points in the village:
° 36 Station Road there is a bin collecting
dental products, including toothpaste tubes
° Manea surgery is collecting printer
cartridges (which we can get money for!),
USB sticks, low energy lightbulbs, crisp
packets and used inhalers. Collection boxes
are located just inside Reception, by the
door.
° Plastic bottle tops are being collected in
a bin at the top of Wisbech Road. BPI, our
local plastic recycling plant, will give us
£100 for every tonne of tops.
