@godless_mom In 2013 & 2014, more than 100 shipping containers were delivered to the Philippines from Canada. Though they were marked as recyclable materials, they contained some 2,500 tons of household waste, including plastic bottles and used adult diapers.

@godless_mom Less than 10% of plastic used in Canada gets recycled.

@godless_mom The rest of the world is glad Canada will finally start banning some of its plastic in 2021 after science tells it exactly which plastics are harmful to the environment and human health.

@godless_mom Driven by agricultural waste & industrial waste generation, Canada's estimated total waste generation is the highest in the world.
Canada produced 1.33 billion metric tonnes of waste, or 36.1 TONNES PER PERSON!
You "dudes" & "dudettes" are disgusting!
