“Reduce, reuse, and recycle” isn’t just a cool slogan; it’s also a great way to save money and cut down on how much waste we produce, including plastic.
According to the Canadian government, Canadians use almost 15 billion plastic bags every year and close to 57 million straws every day. Plastic products like bags and wraps are convenient and abundant, leading to excess use. Those extra plastic bags take up extra space in landfills or end up littering the streets.
