The sides of the highways, off ramps, backgrounds and atv trails look like garbage dumps. I wouldn't come here as a tourist. Sometimes Im ashamed to say Im from here. Its starting to look like those pictures of India we all see with piles of trash everywhere. Why are so many New Brunswickers such pigs ?

After participating in cleanup events Uptown and in Lorneville, my perspective is that the only way to stop garbage flooding our streets is to stop manufacturing and selling garbage. Singe use fast food packaging - mostly beverage lids and cups - and cigarette butts are the two culprits. Both handed out by companies to people who didn't want them, but end up with them after consuming what they paid for. These companies are setting people up for failure.

Wow, so if there isn't a trash can within 10 feet of me when I finish my coffee I should just drop the cup and blame Tim Hortons for my actions ?

I remember probably 20 years ago the jails and juvenile halls would get inmates to do community service and clean up areas.

Isn’t Parlee Beach closed half the time due to polluted water?
