Bags of garbage

The photos of bags of garbage on this blog do not magically appear. I fill the garbage bag up in 15 min. to an hour and take the bag to be picked up by the city. Most garbage comes from little bits everywhere that add up to one large bag when collected into a group. Photos height and width (March 26, 2024) now match original.

I just noticed that the powers that be (P.T.B.) have deleted last years water quality tables on RDP. That sucks.
Picked up some garbage at RDP 200. Note for Cheval Blanc Whitehorse rapids WOODs area, the mosquitoes are back and you need repellant.

When I was picking up garbage plastic lids to water bottles this morning, I realized we humans are not going to stop making these bottle tops until we see a problem. My cleaning is near pointless when we produce how many thousands a day?
 Whats wrong you ask? Fish who are hungry like any animal is, think it is food and eats it. The plastic then gets stuck in their intestine. Then don't swim so well or fast afterwards and then a bird eats them. Then the bird dies from the plastic in their intestine. If they can reproduce faster than they die , it is no problem, but I think they are dying before they reproduce.

Plastic companies are not going to stop selling the plastic.

People who need-want to pay the lowest price have to buy it.

The Government has to ban disposable plastic, plastic bags. Toronto did this. I hope the law stays, and people get used to living without disposable plastic.

 They were talking of fixing as in unblocking rivers in the USA on PBS TV, but I was concerned with the genetic diversity of the four source breeding fish. They are going to be inbred with genetic faults and susceptibilities to disease?

 anyways. Good news. I saw on CBC TV news another breeding program for trees that are resistant to disease. Disease-resistant elms aim of Canadian research Cloning technique offers hope for cities battling Dutch elm disease
