Recycling halifax has new radio ad about “grasscycling.”
“Grasscycling is when you let your lawn cuttings fall into your lawn. It is a great new idea and you should try it!”
OMFG! City hall is paying someone a good salary to come with…um…nothing! Hey, dumbass! It is called mowing with a mulching blade. It has been around for many many decades. Just because you gave it a new word doesn’t mean that it is new.
I am pissed. I am pissed that someone pays you a salary. I am pissed that you are so smug to think that this is something that only you know about. I am floored that you don’t recognize that this is not something that requires a high priced educational ad on the radio.
Do the taxpayers a favour and quit your job so someone worth their paycheque can replace you. —In the real world, you’d be fired for wasting money.

The server space used to store this is more of a waste of money than that ad is. If the person who wrote this would bother to take their head out of their ass for even a second, they would realize that the purpose of the ad isn’t to introduce a fancy new way of mowing, it’s to try to decrease the damage done by fertilizers. But you can’t just say ‘fertilizers suck’ and move on, you have to give an alternative. Which is the point of the ad.
It’s ok, it’s ok.. calm down, calm down
If people weren’t dumb enough to put out bags of grass for the garbage they wouldn’t have to make a dumb ad telling people not to! Plus I’m sure HRM didn’t coin the phrase “grass cycling”, just putting it to good use.
