These littered mylar balloons were found by a Halifax resident while kayaking near Powder Point Bridge this afternoon. The author of this post in the past has found littered mylar balloons by the shore of Silver Lake, along the Scroton Creek in Sandwich, in Smitty's Bog (a conservation area) in Hanson, along the shore of a pond at Massasoit State Park in East Taunton, along a shore of a small conservation bog pond near Stetson Pond and along Route 36 near the Halifax line.

According to AI, "mylar balloons can remain in the environment hundreds of years eventually breaking down into microplastics. Sea turtles and other marine animals often mistake these balloons with jellyfish and ingest them causing intentional blockages that may be fatal."

Litter from the western half of Aldana Road picked up this morning.

Please consider adopting a section of roadway in town to regularly adopt.

If you do, you just might be a recipient of a gift certificate to Mea's Ice Cream, or gift cards to Subway or Cumberland Farms. If "caught" litter busting by a Halifax Police Officer, you can receive one of these fine prizes.

The HBC Spring Clean-Up a couple of weeks cleaned up several miles of roads and some of Halifax's open spaces. Some roadways saw no TLC. One such roadway is along Route 106 east of Cumberland Farms. If some litter busters could tackle litter busting along the sidewalk side of the road until the end of the sidewalk in the next couple of weeks that would be great. Please attach photos to this post of your Clean-Up! Thank you!
