Basura ng Toronto

TORONTO – Mahigit na 900,000 toneladang basura ang linalabas nang Toronto bawa’t taon. Pero hindi maliwanag kung ang ulat na ito ay bago pandemia. Ang basura ay hindi lamang problema nang Toronto. Ang huling ulat nang New York Time, 193 na bayan ay nag kamit na 8 milliones na tonelada plastik na basura konektado sa pandemia basura. 1.5 billiones takip sa mukha ay mauuwi sa atin karagatan. 

Trashy Toronto

TORONTO – Toronto produces 900,000 tonnes of waste per year.  But it is unclear whether this figure is pre-pandemic.  Trash is not a Toronto-centric problem.  It was recently reported in the New York Times that 193 countries have produced 8 million tonnes of pandemic-related plastic waste. 1.5 billion face masks are projected to end up in your oceans. 

“Salamat, Omicron”

Maraming dapat pasalamatan nitong Amerikan “Thanksgiving”. Ang una ang pagbabalik nang “Macy’s” na parade, na wala nang maga karton hubog tao, para pang pakita na mayroon nanunuod na maga tao sa kalsada. Nakating sa maga malalaking at magagandang lobo na “Baby Boss”. Ang pag babalik nang tinatawag “Itim na Bieyernes” unang pintong bukassan. (90+ bigillantes nag papangap “Fast and the Furious” in Walnut Creek). Ang hinihiwalay na lugar para sa maga hindi gustong bisita sa “Thanksgiving” lamesa nang pamilya-“Omicron”. 

 “Thank you, Omicron!” 

TORONTO – There was much to give thanks for in the U.S. Thanksgiving.  A return to the Macy’s Parade with non-cardboard cutout children standing in the streets of New York, in wonderment of the “Boss Baby” balloon.  A return to Black Friday doorcrashers (90+ vigilantes recreating “Fast and the Furious” in Walnut Creek).  And setting a place for an unwanted visitor at the Thanksgiving family table – “Omicron”.
