Let’s Make A Change: Clean Up At Pinecrest/Dumaurier
COMMUNITY CLEAN UP PART 2!
Today we chose Dumaurier community as the location for our clean up.
We were able to fill 6 garbage bags in 2 hours... I would like to say that it made an impact.. but the reality is we need a lot more help. There was still a considerable amount of trash left, if more time, and more hands, we would be able to make this a green community.
We also need to create some kind of system that holds the local businesses accountable for their waste. We found that the majority of the garbage was all next to the Giant Tiger.
Located behind the Giant Tiger at 2865 Dumaurier Ave, Ottawa, ON K2B 7W3 .
Plastic wrap was found covering the ground, fence and completely covering this tree.
This community is filled with beautiful people, one woman even stopped to speak with us. Mentioning that she’s also been actively trying to clean up her street.
“The trash just keeps building up, don’t even bother to clean by the stores, it should be their responsibility to do that” She said to us.
We agreed, however we still wanted to do what we could in the time we were there.
It took me less than a minute to pick up these straws outside of a parking lot .
All in all, the day was a success. Thank you everyone for the support and words of encouragement! We are currently planning our next community clean up. If anyone has any suggestions on where we could clean next, or wants to come, please let us know.
