The garbage I collected at the park about to go into the city container. The person who throws bags of dog feces from the year 2009 is still actively throwing bags of feces into the trees on the shoreline.

Pollution

The traditional five senses are
1) sight/see, 2) touch, 3) smell
4) hear/sound and 5) taste.

Pollution you have to See.

Pollution you have to Smell (click here)

Pollution you have to Hear (click here)

If there is "too much" pollution it has a negative psychological effect on a human being. This affects the health and productivity of a countries citizens. Spending resources to clean up pollution, and make green space areas will lower healthcare costs.
BBC News :" Green spaces have lasting positive effect on well-being"

When people are forced to
see or smell garbage (or hear noise) the event either makes them feel sad (depression) or angry.

The only way to get rid of the visible pollution [sight/see] is to touch it, to move the pollution to another place where no human lives, or to recycle , as in process the item into a consumer product once again.

Smell, the smelly things I know of in the city/suburb environment is dog feces, and vehicle exhaust.

Sound laws, people have to organize and fix — OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Association. Police have to ticket vehicles that are too noisy.

Money

The heart of the Machine is money. Pollution serves the Machine. People now have to PAY for clean water, clean land etc-era that once was free. How do you get money in order to get clean water (solar power pump), clean food, clean land? You work for the machine. Work like cutting down all the trees, fishing all the fish (cod and whale), destroying land/rivers to find metals such as gold, silver, copper, taking crude oil out of the earth and refining it.

If you get sick from the pollution, you have to pay for a doctor and for medicine. Which again serves the machine, because the only way to get money is to work for the machine.
To have a high paying skill such as a doctor, it takes years of work and money.

People who own land must pay their property taxes, so they must make their land profitable enough to pay them.

Only when there is no more money will "progress" end, but money is an illusion of man/mankind. A magic trick. No silver in a dime since 1968.

Why does garbage occur?

People ask "Why? ( to the garbage dropped)". The answer is simple,"Because dropping the garbage is the easiest thing to do." That is what animals do.

Time flies when you are having fun. In heaven you don`t worry about your garbage, so I have to conclude most garbage is an accident. If someone is NOT having fun in the woods or on the river they would be more aware of the garbage they leave behind them.

Another thought of why garbage occurs, let's say you have a damaged car, the car has many dents and scratches. People think it is okay to add more dents and scratches because no one can tell where the NEW dents and scratches are . More damage to the car will not be noticed as a significant change.

The same goes for pollution. If people see garbage, they tend to not care if they add more, it is already polluted/broken.

"The devil is in the detail." Get enough details and the devil is made manifest. The inverse "God is in the detail" is understanding the complexity of Gods creation/the planets ecosystem.

This idea "already broken" is my "second rule" of the rules of garbage. The three rules are at the bottom center of the webpage.

"Can't some body else do it?" from The Simpsons.

In the bible, Deuteronomy 23:13 "Keep a shovel among your tools. When you go to the toilet, dig a hole. Then cover up your waste."

The Book of D’varim 23:14 And thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee.

Joke

There is a plumbing joke that goes " If your rate of evaporation (of water) is faster than your leak, then you don't have a plumbing problem."

The same goes for garbage. If you clean faster than the garbage is put down, then there isn't a garbage problem.

If the trees you cut down in the forest grow at the same amount you remove, then there isn't a problem.

If you (remove) fish at the same amount the fish are increasing, then there isn't a problem.

The removal of garbage helps stop Rule number two (garbage attracts garbage). When people see existing garbage, they don't feel guilty or bad dumping their garbage.

"It's not your problem!" Why clean?

"The garbage, it's not your problem!", you say.
I'm making it my problem.

In the parks I clean, the wild animals do not deserve to walk on , or forage for food amongst garbage like broken glass.

The photos of bags of garbage , or buckets of garbage on this blog do not magically appear. I fill them up over an hour or two, and take it to be picked up by the city.

Why do I clean?
I clean for my health, as in exercise and because I love the land.

I used to say, "Look at this mess! Somebody should clean it up!".

So now I'm somebody.

People spend money for the opportunity to exercise in a Fitness Club/Gym, my cleaning costs me next to nothing and contributes to people enjoying Montreal's green spaces/parks.

How do I clean?
There are several methods I use.

Due to rule number one

There is always more garbage
a method MUST be used.

Methods
1) Bucket/Bag : Once your garbage container is filled, that is it for the day.

2) Time : With an alarm to tell you how much has passed, you work an hour for example.

3) Item of garbage: You chose one kind of garbage to pick up. For example you only pick up glass/broken glass, or you only pick up BLUE plastic over an area of land, or the shape of the man-made object such as plastic straws. Or round objects.

4) Area : You pick an area and clean it until it is visibly clean.(Worst choice because it is very difficult to estimate the time and if you need a bucket for sharp objects and the number of garbage bags needed. )

I use a very strong basket on the back of my bicycle to take garbage out of the woods. I also attach a large piece of wood to the back of my bicycle so I can carry and move dumped car tires. I also can carry a large hand-trolly on the back of my bicycle. I used the hand-trolly to take out engine blocks in 2012.

Special cleaning jobs like removing large items may require a crowbar to loosen garbage from earth and a handle attached, to pull/carry it to a city street. I occasionally use a sledgehammer to break concrete into smaller sizes, smaller sizes can be handled.

Where do I clean?
Only official public parks.

Private land should be cleaned by its owners. It's the commons"Kings Land" I defend-clean-repair.

First priority goes to

places that city employees will never go to clean, for example the shoreline and the woods.

Second priority are places that are commonly used by the public. I expect people to complain to their city of excessive garbage.

Do you need a place to exercise/clean? (west island)
Locations almost guaranteed needing cleaning.
1)Parc-nature du Bois-de-Liesse. Trash blows into the West side of the woods . Click here.
2)Roxboro woods. South side. Dollard D. O. side. Click here
3)Shoreline at Park de la Promenade Lalande/Parc des Anciens-Combattants a very long and thin park along the Rivière des Prairies Click here.
4)Shoreline south of the farm at Cap St Jacques. Spring flooding brings in lots of trash.(on foot, you have to push into the treeline) Click here

When people dump their garbage on the border between developed land and wild land it makes the wild land look bad. Since the land looks polluted and terrible we humans are then doing a good thing to bulldoze and build on it and make good use of it! Then the cycle of dumping garbage on the border, its ugly, its good to build, repeats in a never ending expansion.

Trashopolis II Montreal

Trashopolis Montreal Season 2 Episode 8. Time length 44:13"Since its founding in 1642, Montreal has been partying hard and creating lots of Trash." writes the History Channel. At about 40 minutes Dr. Sébastien Sauvé says to the effect "25% of the population are on antidepressants or antipsychotics, it ends up in the water. The fish are being affected.

Montrealers Are Feeding Fish Prozac
ScienceDaily (Jan. 21, 2011) — Around one in four Montrealers take some kind of anti-depressant, and according to new research, the drugs are passing into the waterways and affecting fish.

My Rant

Human Behaviour.

People pollute the commons, because there are no consequences to their actions. The land, air, water is not theirs, so why should they care?

They don't think of the next person to come along after them, even if it is THEMSELVES when they pass by again.

The air is free to pollute because no one owns the air. No one owns the air over international waters.

"Fatherless Children" otherwise known as bastards, have no fear of being held accountable for their actions. They have no love or respect their father/mother. "Would my father/mother be proud of me?"

My rant continued

Maybe the polluter does know they will see it again, as is with graffiti, the maker doesn't want to be forgotten or un-noticed. It is a form of an animal marking HIS territory.

LOOK AT THAT! I was here!
The graffiti-garbage is visual kind of dog piss.

I think a person ( myself in the past) can feel angry at the ugly garbage, and in a display of anger, make more garbage.

The existing garbage is an excuse to contribute their own garbage, the land is already "dirty", my addition is not significant, so its okay and have a clear conscious.

Maybe it is a learned passive aggressive behaviour of a child. A parent does not want to separate from their child. The child needs to separate so in a passive aggressive attempt to get separation they mess the place up to anger their parent. As an adult they continue the behaviour and make displays of garbage and enjoy it, like a two year old child enjoys knocking things over.

Conscious polluting is to defy authority, but authority is not there to object, so in my mind, polluting is the act of a coward (maybe a criminal act if a serious amount of pollution) or the act of a child.

Maybe people who pollute expect their adult parent of Allah/God to show up and clean up the mess they made. The wind , sun and rain do clean things a bit.

The excessive garbage produced worldwide by mankind is irresponsible.

In the illegal drug world, the drug supplier is blamed not the drug addict.

The scientist-environmentalist David Suzuki (who has five children:a hypocrite) likes to blame YOU the individual consumer for the pollution. He is the King, you are the peasant.

The manufacturers of the plastic garbage should be blamed as well as the consumer.

The people who are stupid and do not feel bad will continue to pollute, while those with intelligence who understand mankind's pollution is a problem are saddled with guilt/despair they don't deserve.

...then to relieve themselves of the guilt and responsibility , (the scientists/wizards) blame the people for paying the lowest cost (that usually pollutes/exploits the free air/water), when the world runs on (capitalism) money and the individual will use the least expensive method.

The Government imposes and enforces taxes, people don't want to pay but they do, the same should happen to manage the pollution, the Government has to impose laws the individual does not like, but is necessary to keep the world ecosystem functioning.

Unfocused Anger at the garbage only makes more garbage. Solutions must be invented and enforced by the peoples government. Government is supposed to represent the people not the polluter ( industry that manufactures plastic).

John O'Sullivan: cleaner

First rule of Garbage. Where there is people, there is rubbish

The Three Rules of Garbage

1) There will always be more garbage.

["He will rake leaves from the pool for hours, not understanding that they are being surreptitiously replenished by his Secret Service men," wrote Morris]
>
2) Garbage collects more garbage.
"It's already broken, my contribution doesn't matter ". Monkey see, monkey do.
>
3) Mother Nature doesn't hate garbage so much, but hungry animals will try to eat it.
(Gifts from Satan)

Turn off the taps

Wouldn't it be better to turn off the taps? (Don't spend your money. They produce the plastic to make money.)

Hungry animals try to eat it.
