A million plastic bottles a minute

According to that map more plastic comes from Alaska than the whole of Canada, how can that be, there are far greater numbers of Canadians than Alaskans...

 

You probably heard a lot of propaganda tied to that too, we aren't downsizing, just relaxing some unreasonable and irrational restrictions...

 

So Canada has zero plastic waste?...its all recycled or sent away to be someone else's problem?...

 

Aren't we trying to stop pumping CO2 into the atmosphere¿...

 

Contribute towards a plastic island in the ocean or heat up the planet a couple more degrees...

 

I think we will get our tropical resort plastic island no matter if Canada contributes or not, too many other countries are doing their part to create it...

 

Latest on recycled plastics here in Australia is that a lot of councils are now forgoing the plastic recycling bin and just dumping the recyclable waste into landfill . They quote its uneconomical to recycle and they blame China for it.

What is going on in Queensland with recycling?

 

What about the plastic film and packaging we use for our food?...Maybe some of this plastic we are eating comes from that too?...

 

So Queensland is going plastic, from the outside in?...

 

They are citing contaminated objects being in with recyclable materials once this happens they have to dump it all as landfill. It happened here the local council was caught dumping recycling waste at the landfill when it was supposed to be shipped to China . They also quoted contamination and the reason for dumping it at the tip. They are thinking of having 'see thru' clear plastic recycling bins so the truck drivers can actually see what is in the bin when they pick it up from the roadside.

Will we follow Qld and dump recycling bins?
