We’ve talked about food waste and inefficient landfill use before, but what about the other litter that harms our environment? It’s surprising to see so much trash along highways, parks, and beaches when disposal bins are everywhere.
Last year the International Coastal Clean-up Day in Ontario collected:
164,995 Cigarette Butts 87,470 Pieces of Plastic
49,548 Food Wrappers 45,747 Styrofoam Pieces
36,317 Pieces of Paper 28,506 Bottle Caps
17,686 Beverage Cans 15,166 Pieces of Soft Plastic
13,888 Plastic Bottles 13,313 Plastic Bags
11,310 Coffee Cups & Lids 9,171 Straws
You can do something about littering and poor landfill use because better tomorrow starts today. International Coastal Cleanup Day will be September 21, 2024 – 9:30 am – 3:00 pm . Organized collection is occurring near you, or find out what it takes to get a group going in your area at (https://acrossuhub.com/events/coastal-cleanup-day-2024/).
Those who are interested in reducing methane producing garbage being put in landfills can be a part of a cleaner future by contacting SALES at Davidson Environmental for a quote or information about their services which divert wasted food from landfills and into biofuel plants. #cleanerfuture #nolandfills #environmentalcleanup #divertwaste #cleanwater
