Earth Day or Toronto ugly

      I go on photo.net site pretty often. It's like YouTube for my younger daughter, I guess. I like to look at  the pictures. Some of them inspire me, comments  teach me to notice much more... I feel a little jealous, when I see gorgeous sunsets of Newfoundland or proud coolness of Rocky Mounties. My scene of action is all around my apartment building. Don't take me wrong. I enjoy it very much, because I take a pride to see and to find beauty in a little corner, squeezed in between Don Valley Park Way and Lawrence Avenue. It has everything - a small park with a historic building (which is under reconstruction for ever, but it's a different story), Don River with a few bridges, a little swamp with different birds, insects, animals, wild flowers, beautiful spring and autumn colours and.... a lot of garbage along the highway, along the river - everywhere.
      This is the footprint we leave. We, people.  Individuals, that walk and travel in the cars of all kind, noticing nothing and caring about nothing, throwing bags, bottles, cups - everything one can think of. It's all there, -  just get off that car once, walk along, get embarrassed. Organizations, that do all kind of constructions and repairs ( could be easily qualified as an organised crime, by the way)  - they leave not only all mentioned above, but wires, a lot of metal, nets, plastic bags... We, who like very much to scream about our rights, to complain about the weather, unhealthy environment,  - I guess, everybody knows what I am talking about, -we deserve, what we are facing - the nature strikes back, and will do it  harder and harder... And if we don't get it, one day we will all die, suffocated by our own dirt and disposals.  We have to understand, that we don't live in some TV show "How dirty is your house", and a rescue team won't come and clean it for us, leaving a tidy ,fresh and beautiful place to live in. We have to do it ourselves.
     As for the Government, they have to figure it out how to reorganize our schools so they could teach  the kids right things. Because sex is obviously a very interesting subject, but it shouldn't be the only one.   When they grow up, they will have to know that they have to clean up after finishing doing something. If they don't  - they will have to pay. Big fines. And get fired, or sued for crime against the nature.
 By the way, is there such law - crime against nature?
        Now, look, what I saw today, The Earth Day...

    I didn't see the the construction workers cleaning after themselves....
