I've been forced to use more plastic bags than ever since Covid because Loblaws banned backpacks in their stores because they say that they are used for shoplifting.
@need4speed I live in a small town with two stores. The Loblaws here is known as No Frills and it sells many things at a far lower price.
this is getting to be to much. how much control are we going to let this disgusting government get away with. we need a way to make government do what people want. there is no reason we can't recycle rather than cancel. that stupid Paris agreement has destroyed the recycling industry and this belligerent government will only impose rules on Canadians rather than do some real work and fix the recycling industry.
In Feb 2020 the Eco Guards Org 1990 in NB, submitted to our Canadian Government an extensive waste plastics reclamation program, entitled The Dandelion Project, although we have not heard from them yet, This NEWS today is a great start to that project. Now is the time for a balance approach to all things pertaining to Ecology, Economy and a proper Eco Education Systems. This is very much long overdue. Understand all plastics can be reclaimed, not just some of them. And our Dandelion Project will show and do exactly that. The old ways of recycling needs to change, for those recycling systems are part of the problem. Furthermore, we did not ask for any ban on plastics, only the proper reclamation of plastic at the end of their use. Petroleum plays a great part in our economy and our ecology. Moreover, all particle plastics are toxic, they're made of petroleum and when plastics break down, they don't always float on the surface of waters. As for coffee cup lids, Eco Guards has a real Pulp, natural wax polymer solution for those, it's just no one listening. That said, these things are part of the Dandelion Project. For we've developed the 3Q's. Quickly, Quarantine for Quality of life. And this encompasses the understanding that current recycling efforts are "dead technology". We should reclaim these items, not burn or place them in landfills. For current recycling efforts cause the particularization and dispersal of those micro particle plastics to begin with.
Thanks for the info. This ban is long overdue! I'm looking forward to the day when most people have done the research and educated themselves on this topic. It's clear that many in this section have not. It makes good sense. Thanks Prime Minister Trudeau!
@@rainydays999 Hi, here's some more info, just in case you want to know. Ten years on: Rwanda's plastic ban | DW English ua-cam.com/video/XG19q_yYGsU/v-deo.html
Time to eat with our hands and stir coffee too
This Canadian is feeling hopeful, maybe there IS MORE THAN JUST TALK happening behind closed doors. Progress, one step at a time.
Sorry trees, you've got to go!
Ban straws, plastic shopping bags and fast food containers. Meanwhile, Walmart and other large retailers generates millions of tons of plastic waste every year from excessive plastic packaging.
Did you miss the part where they said loblaws, can tire, walmart among others are on board with making the switch? Just like the switch to electric cars, this NECESSARY change ain't gonna be something that we do overnight. Don't be afraid...
@@catharanne Switch to what? You think products made for the world market in plastic packaging or going to come in special non-plastic packaging just for the small Canadian market? Not a chance.
The only think I'm afraid of is unnecessarily driving prices up for working Canadians for virtue signalling projects. 90% of the plastic in the oceans comes from 7 Asian countries. Canada could eliminate all plastic and it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
@@catharanne electric cars? talk to an engineer or a mechanic...then go back watching The Jetsons.
@@johnnypenso9574 That old excuse, eh??? "Whaaaaats the point of doing annnnnnnything when there are places wooooorse than us...". Switch to what? Ummmmm... Plastic alternatives maybe? 🤔🤷🏼🙄Damn dude you're terrified 🤦🏼. Small changes like this AIN'T A BIG DEAL. Yeeeeesh 😬
@@catharanne Facts aren't an excuse. If you can't discuss this without getting emotional and using ad hominem attacks it's probably time to take a break.
That girl does not know how to use a fork. Really struggling there. God bless her.
Greta?...how dare you?!
or how about investing in our own recycling and waste sorting facilities? did you know that much of the 1st world used to send all their recycling to China before they stopped accepting it?
recycling is stupid. It was a band-aid solution it takes too much resources. You have to truck the garbage to a facility you have to process it, ship it around, reprocess it. Its not clean.
Better is that you use biodegradable products. Especially Canada has legalized cannabis, you can make anything out of cannabis plant, clothes, utensils, packages, cars...
Finally, I get it, it might be inconvenient to some, but it's a small price for a cleaner Canada and environment.
Anyone that's mad about this clearly doesn't understand that the plastics will all be replaced by extremely similar alternatives. Instead of Chinese plastics, we could mostly be using bi-products of trees for all these disposable things, which is also a huge part of the Canadian economy. So essentially it's better for the oceans, it's better for the Canadian economy, and better for Canadian businesses. All it takes is for some of our more ignorant residents to get over themselves and accept that plastic isn't actually a part of their culture, it's just cheap garbage.
Yes I absolutely agree
Why does every liberal policy suck money out of my pocket and life off my retirement?
Finally! Excellent news!
we did it! we solved climate change!
We have already solved COVID problem. All restaurants are closed.
Stupid comment
James c stupid idea...
@joel dong no you wont, but with your own bowl you can get cutlery made of rice or wheat instead of plastic spoons
Plastic straws are better than paper straws.
Real inclusive progressives would bring people together & stage a dialogue to find a solution that makes everyone happy. But to just force laws & ban legal products & activities only to inflect one certain lifestyle on everyone else is bullying, uncivilized, undemocratic & not what real progressives do. And besides, we have made great progress in biodegradable plastic. Don't bully! The more choices we have the better our democracy.
Restaurants abandoning plastic cutlery doesn't seem realistic, especially in the fast-food industry.
Fine timing.....now how do we get rid of the million tons we have circulating....next the trees??? No wait there all burnt down...
So Huff is using music and effects from $40 Wondershare Filmora video editor lmfao ........
Bring back burn barrells
Centuries later they will look back at the 'plasticene' era with disgust. I hope.
if there is a future then yes, we are living in the worst times. We made it, we have the whole world tamed we should be living in paradise. Too bad everyone is selfish, greedy and shallow. Can't see what a gift we have been given. Mass retardation and the future will be mutants who look back and hate us. While when we look back behind us, who do we hate? Hitler? We are worse than Hitler.
Potato chip bags pls. By the way who sends their trash to India and such places then accuses them of making the trash?
Why not just use "straw" ?
Im not liberal by any sense, but this isn't really that big of a deal, the bigger deal is all the people who are gonna lose out on jobs who work in plants that produce these products. SO GOOD JOB ON THAT TRUDUMB you just put 1000's of people out of work again.
just wait till i take over. Jobs are shit you are all slaves, Trudeau will give you anything you need for free! sunny days! This is actually a big deal especially since we are just getting started. Why do you care if people have jobs? Don't you know rich people are laughing at you? They will pay you to do another useless task instead, to ensure you suffer and toil.
did i see a doke painting on the wall?
Hahahahaha
Ban liberals
Meanwhile in southeast Asia, rivers full of plastic poor into the ocean... but hey we'll even it out with a couple less plastic bags.
If someone else is doing something doesnt mean u shouldn't stop doing it too. Stupid comment
@@jamesc8709 doesn't mean WE should
@@dappercanuck6843 We should lead the world to a cleaner future. We are Canadians.
Yup, and we should be better than them, rather than lower our standards to the level of the worst offenders
Also, not purchasing these plastics from them will reduce how much they're producing as well, so it actually lowers their pollution as well
I will throw everything into the trash bin for now on. No more recycling for me. LOL!
P.S. I just buy the reusable bags then throw them in the trash bin.
why? why not just respect your environment, i get it, its inconvenient, but its simply to rid the waste that isn't biodegradable
@@minersam9217 I don't care
@@OGUA-camEnjoyer Really?, i don't get it. what do you care about then?
@@minersam9217 Who are you?
@@OGUA-camEnjoyer I am the one who is taking you to hell. Who do you think you are?
How about we build an electric car plant so we can participate in the new energy economy and make good jobs for Canadians.
I agree
and build a few pipelines that create even higher paying jobs
@@dappercanuck6843 Now you're talking business
Who is we? A gov't run electric car plant? Must be sarcasm on your part.
You do realize that the mining of the minerals to create the batteries for these electric cars cause more pollution and damage to the planet than oil and gas mining?
Finally great steps forward albeit Long-Time Overdo. *Helium-filled rubber balloons should be banned as well.(* They coast/float vast distances and end up clogging the guts of the wild life - eventually starving them to death.)
You should be banned from living. But don't worry that day will come soon ;)
@@OGUA-camEnjoyer YOU THREATENING ME ??? BRING IT ON THEN .
@Diver - SS shut up
@@jamesc8709 Hi James Thanks for standing up with me. This world really twists my head sometimes. Peace, Be Well. j
Only an idiot would be against Banning single-use Plastics
