Lethbridge Dirty Secret

As one drives down the #3 Highway, passing through the majestic Lethbridge coulees, they cannot help but notice the blatant environmental discrepancy. Here lay a private dump, protected by grandfather clauses - which permit the continued use regardless of current laws. The daily commuter cannot help but notice this mounting pile which fill an area once eroded by the wind and water. Although there are some limitations on what can be dumped at this location, it still presents a visual concern… but is this a bad thing? Should those living in our disposable society be subjected to the evidence of our wastefulness? Does this motivate individual action - or does it allow complacency to set in among the population?
