So we’re banning plastic bags and now straws, which is great but do we all understand that these account for less than 1% of all the plastic we buy, use and consume?
Why is this reality not sinking in. The roasted chicken container for example not to mention all other type of plastic containers with most not being recyclable at all with the black plastic in particular.
It is the easy way out for everyone, a way to buy time sort of speak until we are all forced into actually doing something about it. Our human nature and dare I say laziness needs to be challenged.
I’ve noticed on my daily walks particularly during garbage day that most bags categorized as Garbage contain recyclables and during the Recyclable week they contain all matters of the garbage category. Why is this not being monitored by the City? I suggest spot checks and follow ups with the residents to educate and fine if these repeat themselves.
