Canadians want Ottawa to ban more plastics, survey reveals
Promises are nice, but laws are better. Canada needs a stronger ban on single-use plastics.

Last week we welcomed a new group to the anti-plastic-pollution party. According to its website, the Canada Plastics Pact “brings together businesses, policymakers, associations and NGOs, behind a shared vision of a circular economy for plastic, in which plastics stay in the economy and out of the environment.” Sounds promising, right? Our hope is that these efforts will meaningfully reduce the amount of plastic that is produced and thrown away.
