Downtown Seen May 2016: Earth Day

Dennis Hanagan –

On April 22 Downtown community groups spent Earth Day scouring their neighbourhood streets, picking up everything from cigarette butts and plastic bags to coffee cups and old newspapers—stuff that less community-minded individuals drop wherever they please. The Bulletin caught up with volunteers from the Downtown Yonge BIA and the Good Shepherd Ministries in Corktown as they searched for eye-sore litter. Volunteers separated their general garbage and recyclables into the proper bags for city pickup and then were treated to a late breakfast.
