Bear or Bears are becoming a real pain in the @$$ on my street. For the last 2 weeks I've had to keep the garbage in the garage, along with all my other valuables. It started out innocently enough, a tipped over garbage can here, a ripped garbage bag there. Then garbage bags were being taken right out of the can and disappearing. Unless someone from Chelmsford recently moved in, it had to be a bear.
Last week we received a gift from the City of Sudbury. A green plastic container called "The Green Cart" You are told to place your kitchen food waste...... and non recyclable paper in the container (should be a hit in Levack) and it will be picked up every week along with your regular garbage. Sounds like a good idea, reduce some of the garbage going into landfill...........well think about it for a minute..............ok, long enough! Why! Why! Why!!! would anyone place all their kitchen scraps in a plastic container and place it on the side of the road for pickup...............unless you like to "FEED THE BEARS" The information kit that comes with the "Green cart" states that the lid of the container has a clasp and is animal proof. Maybe it is for squirrels and chipmunks, but any bear worth his stink would just laugh at it. Needless to say, when I placed my regular garbage out last night for pickup this morning the "Green Cart" stayed in the garage.
When I woke up this morning and looked out the front window, guess what I saw......... A Sea of green mutilated plastic all over the street. All of my neighbours "Green Carts" had been knocked over and their lids were ripped off............It ain't easy being green.

What's a balanced diet for a Bear?......A garbage bag in each paw!
