“Over the next 10 years, this ban will result in the estimated elimination of over 1.3 million tonnes of plastic waste and more than 22,000 tonnes of plastic pollution. That’s equal to a million garbage bags full of litter,”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the ban could eliminate 1.3 million tons of plastic waste over the next decade.

We had a go at the Big Plastic Count last week and I thought I’d try to take a pic. Soon gave up with the soft plastic as it kept gusting all over the garden!
I really try to buy very little plastic, (other members of the household less so) but it is always a shocking amount!
The Big Plastic Count is not about individual choices, it is trying to get information in order to hold big corporations to account.
Did anyone else do it?
(If you missed it you can still take a good hard look at your own plastic use before you recycle)

Sign up to get involved and put pressure on government.

Also I have found it really helpful to know exactly what plastic I am buying, then I can make better purchasing decisions

EDIT: I emailed the company concerned and they have brought forward their plans to try out recyclable packaging. That’s a win!
(And next time I am tempted to order from them I will email first to check😉)

POLYSTYRENE! 🥴
Our household has radically reduced it’s landfill output this year. And then I sent off for items that came with this many polystyrene beads. Reducing our waste, we have become much more aware of what we dispose of, and more vigilant.
Has anyone got any ideas for how to put these to use? Any local people or businesses that could at least give them another use?
I will be contacting the shop asking for an alternative to be used.
