Marie Kondo, Markham

A few months ago I did a Marie kondo project throwing away my clothes and some tarot decks as an artistic guerilla art project in Markham where I’m living. Then I saw a Facebook post about how people shouldn’t dump garbage on other people’s lawns. I didn’t dump garbage on other people’s lawns. I placed on my own lawns as a creative project. Recently I saw that many lawns in our neighborhood erect orange webbing. A truck was around in the area doing concrete project. I think that’s the changes I affected in the world making people realize how Markham is a city with restrictive laws. Has anybody accomplished projects like this?
