Enough says ECAT @ Elwood Canal

Fed up with litter flowing freely into the bay via the Elwood Canal / Elster Creek, Elwood locals have formed the Elwood Canal Action Team (ECAT) to fight the good fight against inaction by authorities and council.
ECAT are showing the way by collecting litter and disposing of it correctly (such as the bags pictured above collected by Paul Cullity & Julian Viola before it goes into our bay). Others are using pool scoops to collect the tide of waste that flows daily. Meanwhile authorities like Melbourne Water and CoPP (who received a significant Federal grant to improve litter diversion) are obviously not doing enough.
Petition calls for action
Local MP James Newbury has set up a petition that already has nearly a 1000 signatures. The petition requests the State Minister to meet with locals to frame a better action plan.
