And replace plastic cutlery with what?

id say moving back to paper grocery bags would be a good thing. But paper straws and cutlery? Nope. Idiotic 

All that plastic in the oceans is not from canada, it is from places that do not have proper sanitation services like south africa, india and china.

That’s correct. This is just more virtue signalling at the expense of the voter.

What idiot doesn’t want more plastic? 

What idiot who is apparently a devout environmentalist can’t rhyme what they do as a family to reduce plastic waste off the top of their head. 

Stop being so purposely obtuse you’re embarrassing yourself.

Yep, paper grocery bags is a good thing. But not by ban , by choice.

The larvae of Galleria mellonella, commonly known as a wax worm, is able to biodegrade plastic bags. 

It's worth noting that the scientists haven't yet pinpointed how the worm chemically breaks down plastic. In fact, they said it may not be the worm itself doing the work, but a bacteria in its gut that starts the process.

Either way, identifying the enzyme responsible could have big ramifications for breaking down plastic waste.

The idea isn't to release millions of worms for a feeding frenzy at a dump. As Bertocchini explains, researchers are hoping to find biotechnological solutions to the problem of plastic waste. The best scenario, she says, would be to isolate the molecule responsible and "produce it in large scale in a lab in vitro, and then distribute the molecule in large scale."

Zam’s parents could’ve picked the non-lead based paint.

This dipshit pm should be forced to hold paper targets or better yet plastic targets at a shooting range for the blind. Let's hope come October he is unemployed and never returns to parliament.

Canada ships their garbage to 2nd and 3rd world countries. After that nobody cares.

No we don't. that story you read was one company that was supposed to ship plastic to be recycled but lied and sent garbage. You are a misinformed moron. we were shipping it to michigan from toronto so I guess michigan is a 3rd world country.haha you faggots are so desperately broke you take in garbage for cash.
