Watching this shit unfold from outside Canada is stunning.

I understand not all nations have the same political culture.

But in France, everyone is aware that we consume far too much plastic and it’s seriously harming both our health and environment. Claiming you support plastic packaging is political suicide.

    Plastic packaging has its use so it won’t completely go away, but there is plenty of effort to be made to eliminate single-use plastic.

    I wish more stores would sell product in bulk that allow using your own reusable containers. Once you get used to it, it’s not a lot of trouble to carry those with you while shopping, and it really makes a difference in the amount of stuff you put in the recycle bin and garbage can each week.
