That said, we also asked for operations funding for groups already doing this work, to provide stability and increase their capacity.

Groups like
- Eco-Equitable
- Ottawa Outdoor Gear Library
- Ottawa Tool Library
- Waste Watch Ottawa

We'll keep advocating for this. #OttWaste #OttPoli #Ottawa 3/3

Nice to see our Council Watch post on @en.ottawa.ca's Waste Audit picked up in a recent @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social story.

The audit flew under the radar—unfortunately, as it offers important (and interesting!) data on #OttCity waste diversion. #OttWaste #Ottawa

Pellerin: Too much garbage? One man's trash is another man's treasure Ottawa has taken little action to deal with all that junk. Let's talk someone into taking it off our hands, says Brigitte Pellerin

Whether or not you accept @brigittepellerin.bsky.social’s modest proposal here, their underlying premise is surely right: we in #Ottawa produce too much trash, and we haven’t been creative or courageous enough in dealing with it. #OttWaste
