Irene Vandertop - Don't Mess with the Don 3
Don't Mess with the Don, a charity, has launched a new campaign, Tim Let's Talk, that focuses on garbage from Tim Hortons because the charity would like the restaurant chain to take responsibility for its litter. The trash pollutes green spaces, which means wildlife have to "live amidst our garbage," one member says.Irene Vandertop, co-founder of Don't Mess with the Don, says Tim Hortons, a restaurant chain in Canada, has a big problem when it comes to litter.
The charity launched its campaign, Tim Let's Talk, last month, because Vandertop says the organization would like the restaurant chain to take more responsibility for its litter including carrying out clean-ups, encouraging customers to bring reusable cups and educating staff and customers about preventing litter. The trash pollutes green spaces, which means wildlife have to "live amidst our garbage," she said.
On its website, the company says it is working to improve its packaging by: "transitioning from single-use to reusable; reducing the amount of material used; and ensuring our products can be diverted from landfills through recycling or composting." That's why this Sunday, Don't Mess with the Don is organizing a cleanup around two Tim Hortons locations. It plans to remove garbage within a 600-metre radius of each location and will do an audit of all cups and lids it finds.
