“Ici commence la Loire”: nine ground markers against drain pollution in Trentemoult

Did you know that cigarette butts or wipes thrown on the road near storm-drain grilles end up in waterways, which carry them to the ocean? To raise awareness, Nantes Métropole created ground signage placed beside the drains. Nine markers stamped “Ici commence la Loire” (“The Loire starts here”) have been installed in Trentemoult. The same issue of Rezé Mensuel (January 2024) also featured the woodworking workshop of the Loire-et-Seil community centre, where eleven teenagers aged 11 to 18 learn, one Saturday a month, to build furniture such as garden furniture from pallet wood.
