Here is the result of people not littering in Eldee, Ontario.
Why do people on the street not care? Because those in power don't care either....this is downwind of the Eldee municipal landfill, no more than 50 meters away from a large creek that flows into the Ottawa River 200M downstream. All it takes is a tall fence on the windy side to stop this, I found this looking for trails, you can't tell me the MOE doesn't know about this. This mess covers an area of approx. 500 square meters, if not more. I've seen some disgusting things in my days and have become a little apathetic (unfortunately) but my GF was completly floored by this mess. Now she hates landfills and tries to recycle everything...hahah even things that aren't recyclable. Bless the girl for trying.
