Let us know and our BurliingtonGreen Eco-Youth Network will add you to our list of litter "hot spots" that need our help! Contact Kale, our Youth Representative to let him know the neighbourhood location and if you can forward along a few pictures of the area(s), that would be helpful too. Our dedicated team of youth volunteers will be making their way to various communities to help our city be clean and green.
Do you have a neighbour who idles their car for long periods of time? Encourage them to check out this link and hear what kids have to say about idling cars and invite them to visit the DADA (Dad's Against Dirty Air) website, a Burlington based organization dedicating to spreading the word and taking action on this pollution & health issue.
