    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.

    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.

            Understandable. Sometimes people act on their frustrations about the world in ways that are self destructive, or kill people’s spirit when it comes to continuing to push for more and more progress. The reality is that even though it should end overnight, it also won’t and keeping your spirits up is essential if we want to keep pushing forward.

            I appreciate that you’re looking to post postitve things, and I think I’ll try to take this as my reminder to also not talk down improvements just because they aren’t enough. If we want to keep any momentum, we will have to learn not to let perfect be the enemy of good. The kind of sweeping changes we want are going to take a marathon, not a sprint
