Tossers Aquatic
All it takes is a couple of people to ruin it for everyone. In anything, a small number of individuals can have a larger negative impact on something than the positive actions of many. I witnessed a perfect example of this while boating this past weekend.
A couple of buddies and I went out to Ghost Lake to enjoy the sunshine and have a relaxing day on the water. Drifting across the lake, we saw something in front of us. As we got closer, we realized that what we saw was beer cans and bottles floating in the water. Beer bottles are the last thing anyone wants to see when they’re in such a beautiful place.
What really sunk in that day was the question of what our lakes would look like if everyone threw their cans, bottles and garbage into them. We are so lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. If we want our lakes to remain as beautiful as they are today for future generations, we have to respect them. Recycling on your boat is one of the easiest ways of protecting Alberta’s beautiful lakes. It’s as simple as keeping a bag on the boat. Let’s not ruin our lakes for each other and for our kids.
