The Crystal Palace at The Great Exposition of 1851 was described by contemporaries as “the triumph of man over nature”; Paris’s Exposition Universelle introduced us to escalators and ‘talking pictures’; and Expo 67 in Montreal taught the world to sing “All You Need Is Love”. Winnipeg Water and Waste maybe has less lofty goals in mind for their Garbage Expo next weekend.
