In this episode of In Sync with Nature, we discuss the littering problem and the current garbage crisis, with engaging guests.

It’s a challenge not to see the garbage that is all around us. On our streets, parks, beaches and trails, we can see pieces of trash just about everywhere. Who is actually littering? Have we become so lazy or are we simply lacking awareness? Perhaps it is learned behaviour?

First, we meet Mac, a “garbage fairy” and local activist on a mission to bring awareness to this issue. Next, we meet Kristina Simms from Ontario Parks. With her, we find out the impacts of littering on the ecosystem.

Finally, our last guest, Dr. Myra Hird from Queen’s University sheds some light on the current garbage crisis.
