Earth to Halifax: Time to talk trash Litter is the easiest environmental issue we can do something about — so let’s stop ignoring it Haley Ryan
Metro | Halifax Enough is enough. Mounds of garbage are being spotted around the region this spring as the snow finally melts, and while that may be an annual sight, it seems more and more people are simply fed up. We have gotten multiple emails and calls about piles of garbage all around the municipality this past month, from overflowing trash bags near Halifax West school, to takeout containers, household items and more at a site off Windmill Road in Dartmouth. Earth Day is approaching this Saturday, and while there are always cleanups organized for that one day, the sheer amount of garbage in Halifax-area neighbourhoods will take a big effort that goes beyond this weekend. Let’s get with the program. It’s 2017, so consider this your call to action: grab a trash bag, a few friends and clean up your community as best you can. If you have an event in the works to clean things up, send the details to haley.ryan@ metronews.ca and we will try to run a list of them in a future paper edition.
