Trash Talk: Local Action, Global Change
On now until Spring 2020
Museum Main Level
When you leave your bins at the curb, are they 'out of sight, out of mind'? Where does it all go?
We all need breathable air, drinkable water and a healthy environment. But every day, we're faced with complex global problems, from air pollution to climate change. It can be overwhelming. Even answers to basic questions like 'what can or can't be recycled' may be confusing.
Trash Talk introduces Waste Management, a Division of Public Works in the Region of Peel. Highlighting facts about the "3Rs," the circular economy, innovations and government policies, this exhibit explores the growing challenge of residential waste management, environmental sustainability, and creative solutions helping the planet.
Our world has a waste problem. What will you change to create a liveable future?
