CouncilWatch - New recyclables for Toronto & a National Transit Strategy
September 14, 2012
More recycling for Toronto! Some major retail chains recently shifted to a single resin for these containers to improve recyclablility. We're happy to see retailers and producers take greater responsibility for their packaging choices - read more here. Though this disposable packaging is now recyclable, it's important to remember to Reduce, Reuse then Recycle. Single-use packaging uses significant natural resources and energy to produce and recycle. Choose reusable! Stay tuned this fall for more information about Toronto's waste diversion programs and what the City needs to do to get to 70% (and higher!) diversion from landfill. |
National Transit Strategy The Bill would direct the Federal Government to catch up with all other G8 countries and implement a National Transit Strategy. This would help reduce smog, greenhouse gas emissions and traffic across Canada. Contact your MP today - ask them to support a National Public Transit Strategy. Learn more here. |
