Sickening sight
While walking on the eastern end of Oxbow Rd (courtesy of the landowners) on March 13, I was met by a sickening sight. The farm field below was covered in thousands, if not tens of thousands, of pieces of plastic. This farm land surrounds the Brantford landfill on the outside of the flood protection dike. The plastic obviously had been blown out of the dump. There was even plastic on the other side of the Grand River stuck on some of the trees high up on the bank close to where I was walking. I shudder to think how much plastic had blown into the river to be carried downstream to Lake Erie or to become entangled in shoreline vegetation downstream with the current high water. I had noticed plastic in the fields surrounding the landfill earlier this winter but it is now completely unacceptable.
