At RDP 200 parc Paquin shoreline at least ten pounds of glass/broken glass and some various.
I didn't bring my weighing scale.
Lots of small black plastic dog feces bags on the shoreline as well.Visually unpleasant maybe bad for the ocean, I hate dog owners who toss their dog feces in the road sewers, you know why.

July 30, 2012

Start of the day at Cap St Jacques free boat launch area. I made a pile of broken glass and such. I luckily found a container to carry it, but I had to take two trips.


Metal in the shoreline I pulled out and brought to the garbage bin.


Creosote-impregnated wooden beam in the shoreline. Toxic material no one worries about.

Creosote-impregnated wooden beam from a distance. There are many more in the area poisoning the water, earth and wildlife.

First step of pulling it out of the shoreline, digging it out. I took it a good distance further to the garbage-bin and then my tool to pull it broke.

Far West of RDP 180 place. The shoreline of Cheval Blanc Rapides Whitehorse Rapids .
I had found the metal chair on the 27th of July but left it. This day I found it again but someone had opened it to a sitting position and left it.

I collected just over ten pounds of mostly broken glass and placed it in the white bucket.

End of the days cleaning bucket of broken glass and a broken chair.

How to get free GPS latitude and longitude

How to get free GPS or Global Positioning System.
It's not really GPS but it is finding the official latitude and longitude of a place so you can clearly show on a map the location you want to identify.

1) Run Bing Maps on the internet. http://www.bing.com/maps/

2) Find the location you want the latitude and longitude of . Zoom in as much as possible.

3) Click " Share". a pop-up window appears. Switch to "Show Full URL"

4) Copy and past the URL to notepad or whatever kind of text program. In the URL there will be two numbers. Remove the "~" separator.

5) Put the numbers into google maps to confirm the latitude and longitude.

You now have free GPS.

Cap St Jacques , I took a bunch of garbage out from the shoreline. I only have the side view. A top view photo would show the amount better. Anyways the guy working at Cap St Jacques to empty the garbage bins showed up(on the left), and we put the garbage in the back of his golf cart type vehicle.Not the wood.timbers were treated with "creosote-coal tar solution" or "coal tar creosote,"

Put this garbage from the shoreline near RDP 190 of Cheval Blanc Rapides/ Whitehorse rapid. at the trashcan . July 19 I added a black garbage bag worth.

From RDP 190 west to the spot in the photo small to medium amount of garbage collected. I found the sink on the shoreline . On July 19, I took the sink out.

When it rains the city sewer system combines the rainwater and regular sewer-water. This then washes into the river and from the river onto the shoreline.

This sewage disposal plan would have worked before the invention of plastic, but with the invention of plastic, the garbage in the sewage does not disappear. The plastic continually builds up on the shoreline and goes out to sea.

The hungry fish eat it. The birds eat the fish. http://youtu.be/Ai3IKO_afqs

UPDATE:

Sewage washing up on eastern Montreal shores

"People living in Pointe-aux-Trembles say they're fed up with smelly garbage washing up on the banks of the St. Lawrence River.

Raymond Desgagnés said garbage has been washing up on the shore of his property since he bought it in 1996. He said he's concerned about the safety of his grandchildren." CBC News Posted: Jul 25, 2012

Cap St Jacques at the free dock. I didn't like this car tire , so I dug it out and took it to the garbage bin. It's garbage right?

July 10, 2012

Cheval Blanc rapids whitewhorse rapids I collected some bricks along the shoreline, and then I put them on the curbside.

July 9, 2012

Cheval Blanc rapids/ Whitehorse rapids shoreline. I found four unbroken bottles. I was lucky they were not broken- unlucky that I always find garbage. The beer add is successful because I find a lot of Corona beer bottles on the shoreline.

July 7 , 2012

At Cap St Jacques. I saved a fish and this raccoon. The fish was trapped in a small man-made pool made of rocks alongside the river. The raccoon was in the garbage box in the photo above. I had found and saved a raccoon a few years ago. I wonder how many raccoons die in these stupid garbage boxes? They have a latch on the outside that locks the raccoon in.

Three medium bags of garbage collected from the shoreline. Broken bottles, bottles, fishing line, white and round Styrofoam worm containers, etcetera.
