Went picking up trash with the cubs for #CleanUpTheCapital #Ottawa
At the start, a cub comes over and says “this says not for children” and hands me a small box… of .22 bullets.
wtf
Another leader is in the military and took them for disposal. I have no idea what to do with bullets.
Figured out another use for the #yuba #cargobike where I strap a garbage can to the side and have the 12yo bike slowly along while I use a garbage grabber to pick up trash. #BikeTooter
Wife asked why I’m doing this now and not the arranged day to #CleanUpTheCapital #Ottawa but… I’m angry about the trash *now*
The local Clean Up the Capital event seemed to have a low turnout, but walking down a few roads is enough to get half a bag. Plenty of discarded non-biodegradable cigarettes, a few bottles, and what seemed like a few depleted marijuana vape containers.
At the same time, they were giving out tulip bulbs, which can also beautify some gardens.
