We need to cut #plastics production! #plasticstreaty
„Reporters trying to inform the public and hold governments accountable were completely shut out.Yet somehow the rules allowed the industry whose survival depends on more #plastic production to dispatch reps to watch negotiators at work.“

How Big Business Broke Recycling (And Blamed You)
youtu.be/JK1BfPw7lnQ?...
Recycling has been the gold standard for fighting pollution for decades. But most plastics can’t be recycled and the companies that push for recycling are the ones often generating the most emissions and waste in the first place. Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant looks at how we have been told to “reduce, reuse, recycle” to shift the responsibility from companies to the individual.

Across Canada, communities are trying single-use plastic bans, fees and other policies to tackle plastic pollution locally. Some, such as Montreal and Banff, have been ambitious and seem successful so far. But there have been some setbacks in cities like Calgary and Vancouver. Here's a closer look at the range of strategies, what's working and what's not.
