#plasticwaste — Public Fediverse posts

How long has the problem of #PlasticWaste been recognized? How long ago did the #BigPlastic (everyone from chemical companies to users like#CocaCola, #Pepsi & #Nestlé ) talked about #recycling? When will we acknowledge that industry's "voluntary" controls are a smokescreen to cover their continued bad acts? That only a small percentage of plastic is responsibly recycled?

Bravo to Tofino for being the first in Canada (again!) protecting our waterways and environment from the overuse and waste of plastics!

Thanks to their work, the same Surfrider group came to Port Alberni and worked with AV Transition Town Society to create Ocean Friendly Port Alberni which has been helping educate and cleanup the community for a number of years now.

I helped our MP Gord Johns (who was previously head of the Chamber of Commerce in Tofino) rally support for his national Plastic reduction strategy introduced back in 2018/19 which led to the controls on plastics today.

Tofino leading the way again!
