Subject: Reduce, Re-use, RecycleAndy MacDonald always enjoyed weekend trips to the beach or camping with his parents, but he was seriously concerned when he started to take his young family to the favourite spots he remembered. The beaches and the water were fouled to the point that some places were closed because of health risks. Some of the old camping spots were barren or covered in trash that had accumulated over years. The streets of the town they lived in were almost treeless and there were few birds or other wild life in the parks. When he tried to grow his own vegetables he found many plants could not get to maturity. He was told there might be stuff in the soil and the atmosphere which was causing those problems. It's a pretty bleak picture out there compared to what it used to be. Pristine beaches are gone.

Parks are becoming denuded. Our fresh fruits and vegetables are becoming bland and tasteless. Can anything be done? Yes, and that's the good news. Find out all about it here.
