  1. When you only offer paper straws to klaus and Macron we might think about losing the plastic

  2. This have been an issue from the late 90s. Most things needs to be back in cans and jars. The government has to tell manufacturers of food stop within a 5yr window. Glass metal and paper. Its easier and more effective for me to pay up front on packing cost then have a government use my tax money to recycle and regulate plastics.

  3. WHAT IS UTTERLY INFURIATING AND POINTLESS IS THE THOUSANDS OF TONS OF UNRECYCLABLE PLASTIC. WHY ON EARTH CAN IT BE SO HARD TO MELT ALL PLASTICS AND USE THEM FOR “SOMETHING” STYROFOAM FOR ONE MUST HAVE MILLIONS OF TONS DAILY GOING INTO LANDFILLS!!!

  4. Jason Kenney wanted to open a massive plastic factory in Alberta to manufacture plastic goods…..he was fired by right wing extremists b/c (apparently) he wasn’t extreme enough.
    Why not talk about the political reason plastic is everywhere!? Hint: It’s not democracy.

  5. We’re more concerned with the food that comes in those packages.
    As in affording it .
    Go woke= absolute joke.
