Wayne Fernandes says he hates all the litter he sees each day as he commutes to work.
Each weekday, Fernandes drives from Guelph, Ont., to Mississauga, taking Highway 401 for part of the drive, and he started to really notice the garbage along that route this past spring.
During his drives, he saw the snow slowly melting, and as the last bits of snow remained on the ground, it glittered in the sunlight. But long after the snow had disappeared, the glitter remained. That’s when Fernandes realized it was all plastic.
“I noticed water bottles on the side of the road and they were glistening in the sun.
