A survey by the Department of Environment released in February shows an increase in litter of 21 per cent since 2004. Environment Minister David Morse says it's disappointing that litter continues to be a problem in Nova Scotia. He says there are serious environmental, economic, and social impacts when people do not dispose of their waste properly. The survey was conducted by four members of the Nova Scotia Youth Conservation Corps in July and August of 2008. Students were hired to pick up litter from 55 randomly chosen sites across the province. Download the survey (Acrobat PDF, 1.6 MB) »
