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.
Recycling is also a scam. According to CBC marketplace its just green washing.
And there’s a reason why Recycle is the last in importance in the three Rs in Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.
It’s a framework with a broken endpoint. Yes.
But it’s fixable.
Once we get past the big-ticket items of whether girls can kiss girls or whether those women can play baseball with those women, and then we decide which tumours can be excised and which are holy, then it seems we can settle things like fixing recycling.
So it seems, anyway. We’re hung up on just the absolutely most absurd shit.
