Week Thirty Three: Leaving a Kind Message to City Workers.

As hard working folks, city employees who do the garbage and recycling run deserve much respect and recognition for their profession. This week I thought it would be nice to leave them a little note, thanking them for keeping our city clean.

A working class hero is something to be.

Week Twenty Five: Recycling an Abandoned Box of Trash.

This week I was biking through Sandy Hill, and saw this apartment building with a box full of trash on the front step. Anyone who knows the area, knows that at times there can be some messy students that forget to pick up after themselves. I decided to get rid of that eye sore and recycle or throw out all the contents from the box.

It may not have been a lot, but it’s one less box of trash lying around.

Week Eighteen: Picking Up Trash and Recyclable Materials During Lunch.

A couple of weeks ago, I went home to visit my family in Northern Ontario. On the drive back to the greyhound station, my mom and I noticed this man picking up trash on the side of the highway. She was saying how this man was very well known in the community and how his daily routine consisted of walking from village to village in the area to pick up litter by the side of the road in order to make it a better and cleaner place to live. I thought this was a great deed and it got me thinking that I should do the same too. 

When I was taking a walk during my lunch break at work on Friday, I noticed that there was this field full of trash nearby. I went in the closest store and asked for a garbage bag. The nice man, after chuckling to my unusual request, handed me one and expressed  support and gratitude towards what I was doing. In 15 minutes, I managed to pick up a full garbage bag of trash and some recyclable materials.

Fifteen minutes is all it took to make a healthy green field a bit more pleasing to the eye.
