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.

Car rim rusting on the shoreline of Whitehorse rapids/Cheval Blanc Rapides I took out to the curb.



Also the leftovers from the orange chair were not compleatly out until this day.

A large piece of white hard foam and the plastic sign saying "Iberville" with a phone number are with the broken orange chair parts.

I had made a pile of the garbage but never took it out. I had wanted evidence that people had used Whitehorse as a dump, but really no one cares. So I decided to end my need of "LOOK AT THIS" and took out the garbage.
As the park/forest looks green people will enjoy it, that is the purpose of the green space. Besides the space is for the wild animals, but the wild animals have to deal with all the garbage like broken glass bottles, so I don't think it is so great.
Also people run their dogs , the dogs do terrify whatever is trying to live there. I have seen dead rabbits  ripped apart I presume by dogs.
If not the iron horse/the train noise.

Progress in Paving


Starting construction at Cheval Blanc Rapides/Whitehorse Rapids

Today construction near finished.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit.



Reminds me of the arsonist in the movie Backdraft.

And what about the world, Ronald?

              What would you like to do with the whole world?

              Burn it all
.
Change it to Pave it all


Then: Woods near Pierrefonds Comprehensive high school.


Now, just a little bit, just a bit.

Before: Last woods on the eastern tip of Roxboro.




After: Five? new houses. Two?  with  pools.
Gouvernement du Québec,

When is the paving going to stop?

Switch between Google and Bing maps to see the difference that is happening (fast), and when in the map viewer, switch from Satellite view to birds eye view to see if you can find any changes.

St John (St Jean) and Brunswick

When I was a child I used to play in a swamp with bulrushes. The swamp used to be a stream. The stream had got blocked up. The photo above has a red square drawn in it. This is where a farm was with the stream swamp, and it is all gone now. Who ever lived there when it was a farm is probably dead today.


Before ( on Northern St Jeans Blvd)

Imagine if you were sold by the green scenery?

After. Green woods are now gone for more Condos.


This is amazing. Literally every green-space is being developed. The living conditions will be horrible with all the concrete asphalt and buildings. One big cement city.

And the Pièce de résistance a new Boulevard for the west island.

Shoreline of Cheval Blanc Rapides/ Whitehorse rapids.East of the public park.


I previously had made a collection of bricks into a pile.

End of this days cleaning, a pile of bricks at curbside.
I took six trips (of five bricks in my backpack) to the curbside for a total of 30 bricks.
The bricks are just cosmetic garbage, not really bad for the environment, but they look bad to humans that fish and walk by for the scenic view.

Half way between RDP 180 and RDP 190
