Along the shores of Lake Ontario, you might spot a woman on a stand up paddleboard looking determined and persistent: Rochelle Byrne, paddleboarding for a cause: to raise awareness about the presence of plastic pollution that has infested Lake Ontario. 10000changes.ca/en/news/taking…
Some eight million metric tons of plastic waste enters the global ocean each year. Of that, 640,000 tons is “ghost gear:” abandoned, lost or damaged fishing equipment that sheds microplastics and can kill or injure marine life that become entangled in it. canadiangeographic.ca/article/what-l…
"One of the first great truths we learn as kids is that oil and water don’t mix. The same holds true for plastic and water, perhaps not surprisingly since the former is mostly made of oil. Plastic has now found its way into oceans around the globe." 10000changes.ca/en/news/canadi…
"I have always been captivated by the reflectiveness and translucency of water — how it is both inviting and unknowable. Light has a similar kind of mystery to it, being both invisible and visible." 10000changes.ca/en/news/canadi…
These sculptures are made from plastic gathered from Toronto’s Humber Bay shore. Woven from straws, water bottle lids, tampon applicators, miscellaneous strapping and bits of toys, they mimic what might happen in nature. 10000changes.ca/en/news/canadi…
Riel Wardrobe, a sustainable clothing brand, is joining forces with Plastic Bank, a social enterprise committed to stopping ocean plastic pollution to launch The [MSK] Project. seawestnews.com/unmasking-the-…
It was a powerful statement. For much of 2019, as visitors left Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in Toronto, they were confronted with a silver canoe emerging from a tidal wave of plastic water bottles. 10000changes.ca/en/news/canadi…
During the COVID-19 pandemic there’s been a surge in online shopping — which means a surge in packaging. Because of this, some companies are looking for options to reduce the waste produced by their shipping methods. 10000changes.ca/en/news/more-c…
In a report released this week, the National Zero Waste Council says packaging some foods can protect them from damage or ruin and thus end up in landfills, where they produce harmful methane gas. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
"It's very difficult to know exactly how this is all going to sort itself out given the uncertainty of the times, but we do intend to move forward on the plastics ban." cbc.ca/news/technolog…
Solving the plastics problem will require each and every one of us making small changes in our daily lives. 10000changes.ca/en/commit-to-c…
"Plastic waste is ubiquitous throughout our country and nothing short of a national commitment, expressed through a common ambition of all Canadians to eliminate waste, will suffice." 10000changes.ca/en/news/leadin…
"There is a major misunderstanding of the currently reported recycling rates. “Eco-friendliness” and “sustainability” mean different things." 10000changes.ca/en/news/a-sust…
A startup company called BioCellection has developed a new way to keep previously unrecyclable plastics out of landfills, incinerators, oceans and waterways by breaking down waste into chemical components. Here's how it works. youtube.com/watch?v=6GHTo4…
Canada is asking for more time to enact a promised ban on shipping plastic waste. Here's a look at where Canada sends its plastic. 10000changes.ca/en/news/where-…
With Canada set to ban single-use plastics by 2022, products made of cellulose — a major component of plants — could be the ideal alternative canadiangeographic.ca/article/plant-…
Starbucks is temporarily banning reusable mugs due to coronavirus contamination fears. What do you think?
Canadians who wear contact lenses now have a way to recycle their traditionally non-recyclable disposable contact lenses and blister pack packaging. solidwastemag.com/recycling/1003…
Saskatchewan - which produces the second highest amount of waste per capita in Canada - is ditching the dump and trying something new to divert trash from landfills. #divertingtrash #recycling #WasteManagement leaderpost.com/news/local-new…
The report says that in 2016, 29,000 tonnes of plastic garbage, the equivalent of about 2.3 billion single-use plastic water bottles, ended up as litter in Canada — on beaches, in parks, in lakes, and even, says the report, in the air. globalnews.ca/news/6484721/s…
