Thursday Trash: Recyling

in thursdaytrash •  6 years ago  (edited)

Recycling in a big thing on Prince Edward Island. Everything we discard has a place, either for compost, recycle or waste.

At first it was difficult to keep everything in the correct container but eventually it becomes second nature. The rules are strictly enforced and your recycling is tagged if not in the correct container.

The highway ditches here are kept clean of trash but sometimes large objects are carelessly left with the hope Mother Nature will do the decomposing, such as, these discarded wooden boats.

This one I photographed a few years ago when I had my old Kodak Digital camera.

An old buoy used for Lobster Fishing and a lifeSaver ring are left beside the boat. There has been an appeal to ban the styrofoam buoys and go back to the wooden ones.

Another abandoned boat left amongst the seaweed.

The anchor is beside the boat.

The Great Blue Heron looks on in disgust to see the wharf, with old boards piled on top, left up on the land.

The dumps are getting full. As the population of the earth increases land and water becomes scarce. Wildlife are being driven out of their habitant with clear cutting of forests, to make more room for housing and crops. Without our trees, the earth would be a desert.

We need to all do our part to take care of the land and recycle and reuse as much as possible.

Howdy there redheadpei! It's amazing that people would just leave boats to rot away! I can see little things pitched out but not boats. Oh well, I guess I don't know how disgusting people can be! lol. Sounds like a very conscientious bunch up there where you are though, things must be improving as far as recycling and conservation.
