I went to a popular local Cafe on Robie St. for the first time the other day and I was shocked to see all the empty water bottles and pop cans going in the garbage!! Does this actually still happen in 2008?? Is it that hard to put out a big blue bin to collect the recyclables and then put them out on garbage day?? I think the Coast should do a story where they go around to all the local restaurants and cafes and see who recycles and who doesn’t and maybe that will light a fire under the offenders!

It surprises me everyday the number of businesses that don’t recycle and how easy it is for them to get away with it. Most notable would be were I work – a hospital that caters to children. It’s despicable and shame on you!
