Items taken from Spring Creek during clean-up yield expressions of disgust

Patio sets, old propane tanks, couches, toys - trudging through the mirky waters of Spring Creek on Friday afternoon, 21-year-old Laura Woloschuk was finding all sorts of discarded items.
"It's disgusting. It's totally gross to think people can throw anything in there," she told the Times-Herald while coming up from the creek bed with a mud-soaked shopping cart filled with rubber tires.
Woloschuk was one of 20 SIAST environmental technician students and water resource technician students who cleaned trash out of the creek on Friday.

The creek tells the story of the attitudes of some of the young people in this city and the irresponsible adults. Garbage strewn about in back lanes is the norm,
junky and eyesore yards. Bylaws exist. Boulevardss allowed to have the grass grow a foot high or more. There is a bylaw that the homeowner is to cut them but doesn't. Vehicles allowed to collect in yards, graffitti, in REAL cities their is a bylaw that forces property owners to paint over the graffiti within 48 hours. In Moose Jaw we don't want any bylaws telling us what to do, we'd rather have the graffitti spread like a flum throughout the city. Walk on MacDonald Street west of Main between the fast food restaraunts and the highschool to the west. Littered yards from the fast food wrappers. Why don't these restaraunts provide some garbage containers along Saskatchewan so the garbage can be thrown in them instead of on the street or the peoples yards along MacDonald St.They don't care that's why. Shame on the Clown, the Bear and the King. Students, stop throwing garbage out your car windows. Adults, clean up your yards. You set the example.

Pigs, there's a difference between polluting our streams, rivers, and ditches and keeping your yard environmentally friendly.

As for littering, there should be higher fines, community service to clean up ditches when caught littering and maybe even a tip line to report offenders.

As for the garbage along MacDonald St., ever wonder why fast food wrappers look like small billboards instead of plain kraft colored paper? Nobody wants anybody to litter, but if they do, why not have a restarant's ad all over the litter? I read years ago about Disneyland doing a study and reporting that most people will hold onto their garbage for something like 50 paces before discarding it. How far apart are the garbage recepticles in Disneyland? 50 paces. Hmm.
