Wow...I was reading through the newspages on the web,
and found an article about the worst recyclers in Canada.
and found an article about the worst recyclers in Canada.
*************************************
The province that holds that title is Manitoba! Manitobans are topping the scales at more than 1 million tonnes of trash a year - and thereby earning the dubious distinction of being the worst recyclers in the country. WOW!!! Come on people...all things that are recyclable need to be recycled!! At a time when the rest of Canada is diverting almost one-quarter of its garbage away from landfills, Manitoba has gone in the other direction. Manitobans are throwing away 100,000 tonnes more now than they were in 2002, according to the figures from the province. They're also tossing out more waste per capita than the national average. While Nova Scotia diverts 40 per cent of its waste and 99 per cent of households recycle, Manitoba only diverts 13 per cent of trash and is dead-last for recycling at 88 per cent, says Statistics Canada.

Sadly no where in the article does it say anything about Beautiful British Columbia!
