Picking up plastic garbage
Thirty-three bags of garbage from just 5 km of road. Roadside littering continues to be a significant and bewildering problem in our province. Since 2010, Coastal Action has been removing roadside garbage from Route 3 between Lunenburg and Mahone Bay on a biannual basis.

BY SHANNA FREDERICKS

​Step aside stand-up paddleboards, SUP has a new meaning and it's single-use plastic. The anti-plastic movement has firmly taken root in Lunenburg thanks to a local group of concerned citizens called Plastic Free Lunenburg (PFL). And rightly so. With 300 million tonnes of plastic produced globally each year but only 9-15% of it recycled, it's time to turn awareness into action.
