The city’s litter situation is improving: Take Pride Winnipeg

The results of the city’s litter index show Winnipeg has a little less litter than it did last year.

Take Pride Winnipeg released its neighbourhood scores, and the city has improved as a whole from 2017.

“We are getting ahead in a lot of ways. There are a lot of people that are helping to eliminate litter … and more and more people doing creative things,” Executive Director Tom Ethans said.

Ethans applauded people who have been ‘plogging’ —  picking up garbage while jogging.

For those who move at a slower pace, ‘plawking’ might be an option, which is litter-picking while walking.

Ethans said they’re hoping to see even more people helping keep the city clean.
