Clean streets and rivers for São Paulo: restoring the Pioneer canal

The Pioneer canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This March, 114 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 56 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, including native species selected by a local botanist. The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade. All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $700 goes: • Waste removal and skip hire: $160 • Signage and educational materials: $50 • Native saplings and stakes: $490 I hope life is good to you.

              Hope things get better soon, Amanda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Udaipur.
