If the Liberals get the boot, can a new government revert the single use plastic ban? Or is it somehow the law of the land?
One of the dumbest policies they enacted.
its wide ranging of course, but when I go to Safeway I now collect reusable bags instead of plastic bags because I forget mine, hurting the environment even more given the carbon impact of reusable manufacturing (assuming its still more vs plastic).
On grocery bags it swapped plastic for a more carbon intensive option. I mean, I know many people are better then me at remembering their bags, and it impacts other areas but still - the clean water/ocean aspect isn't an issue here despite the Liberals marketing.
