Earth Day

Gray Merriam | Mar 27, 2024

The ‘big cleanups’ to celebrate Earth Day are a fine gesture. We don’t like litter spread across our living space. But the folks who began Earth Day had some more in mind when they suggested that we ‘clean up’ our environment.

For example, the invading colony of Phragmites (giant reed) that overlaps the boundary between North and Central Frontenac should have been ‘cleaned up” a few years ago but was not. Taxpaying citizens can press our municipalities to do such ‘cleaning up’. There is more than litter that needs attention.
