MECI's GRAND PLAN FOR MODDERFONTEIN AND SURROUNDS

Recently the Modderfontein Environmental Community Initiative (MECI) was founded to facilitate a unified group of people interested in cleaning up the surrounding environment and preserving the wonderful  rural

atmosphere and sense of place the pine forests and tree lined streets and old residential areas provide in Modderfontein. To some degree there has been a growing realization by the property owners of  Modderfontein that MECI requests, the cleaning up of Dam 1 as an example, which for many years was not protected from the rampant pollution from local and surrounding industry upstream of Modderfontein. To this end MECI wishes to announce a new ''GRAND PLAN''.

MECI's GRAND PLAN has recently begun the process to facilitate the coming together of all role players in The Modderfontein area  and all surrounding industry upstream of Modderfontein, including the Government and municipalities who lay down and enforce the environmental management laws governing pollution of waterways and dams on private property. This plan will comprise  a marketing and awareness effort, a monitoring and policing effort and an enforcement component. The local press will be expected to assist in the positive marketing of this effort which will ultimately benefit all in the area.
