They should look at the ridiculous amounts of plastic used for cannabis packaging too. I can only assume it’s some kind of government requirement, the plastic use is insane here compared to anything I’ve purchased in states where it’s legal.

I was looking at a lot of those packaging materials and a lot could be replaced by cardboard. It’ll be tough, though.

Yeah, do that. But Canada should set its sights on eliminating shale oil production – things that will ACTUALLY make a big difference.

In case you haven’t heard, they are ending subsidies for this kind of thing.

Glad to hear it. No reason to subsidize super profitable and world-destroying endeavors.

But eliminating subsidies isn’t nearly good enough. After all, were not talking about ending subsidies to single use plastic containers.

I’d love it if people would stop “what about”-ing every good news post I make.

Zero Waste

Being “zero waste” means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.

Our community places a major focus on the 5 R’s: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.

We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
