As of Dec. 20, the federal government’s next phases of the process of banning single-use plastics will come into effect.At that time, the importation and manufacturing of single-use plastics such as shopping bags, carry-out food containers and cutlery will no longer be permitted in Canada.“It’s a benefit for the environment” said Mañana Imports owner Stephen Burger. “It’s a benefit for everyone.
A 2019 study done by the City of Calgary showed about 3.5 million plastic shopping bags found their way to the city’s landfill along with millions of take-out containers and disposable cups. Ward 2 councillor Jennifer Wyness said the city is currently in the feedback stage of a new bylaw that will be aimed at further reducing single-use plastic consumption with a focus on compostable brown bags and wood.
“It’s not just one order of government gets to fix this,” Wyness said. “This is a global issue… global ramifications and I think sometimes we put the box too narrow when it comes to addressing the climate.”
yes lets revert to archaic times and eat all things with our hands,,, that is what a backward dope Trudeau would like.
Cutlery, Something else I need to carry in my purse.🍴
I buy a box of plastic straws every time I go for groceries!! Keep a box in my truck with me. Should be good for years to come!
Remember when they got rid of paper bags at the grocer stores to save the planet and the trees ? Now we’re going back to paper from trees because they use co2 to produce oxygen . Sounds like they got it right again ! Lmao
They should have a finger washing sink. We can eat with our hands! Perfect! 😂
Everybody panic
