A citizen initiative, born from the concern of a young resident, organized this Sunday a waste collection day around the athletics tracks and the path of La Creu in Canet de Mar, with the collaboration of the City Council.

The proposal, under the slogan «The forest is life, let's take care of it!», originated from Katia, a local girl who, concerned about the presence of litter on Canet's paths and forests, conveyed her concerns to the City Council. With the support of her mother, Tania, the initiative has taken shape to involve children, families, and residents in caring for the natural environment.
The Canet de Mar City Council, through its Environment Area, has supported the organization by providing materials such as gloves and bags, as well as bins for collection and assisting in the activity's dissemination. The event took place between 10 AM and 1 PM.
This action not only served to collect waste but also to raise awareness about the importance of keeping natural spaces clean and to highlight the involvement of children in environmental preservation, transforming an individual concern into a collective action.
The City Council has thanked Katia and her family for their initiative, as well as the participation of all collaborators, reminding that caring for our forests and paths is a shared responsibility.
