Legislation finally passes banning single use plastic bags! Michael Gorman CBC writes: Nova Scotia passes ban on single use plastic bags This time next year single use plastic bags will be no more ..finding one may be the hardest thing to do almost like where's Waldo..lol The Legislation takes effect in one year giving grocers ,retailers and the public time to make adjustments...There are a few exemptions and those are for the time being dry cleaner bags,the bags used by garages to wrap tires bags used for bulk foods and fish sold from pet stores...but these things are under review and solutions may be in order.. The Minister for the Environment says it may not take a full year for retailers to make the changes they say many members of the public have already made the switch to reusable bags ...In January the giant food chain Sobeys have announced there will no longer be plastic bags available ..They go on to say their patrons are very happy to do their part and bring in their own bags. More is being done to find a solution to the bulk plastic bags , deli containers and bakery products which are also in clear rigid plastic... **** Sobeys is my go to food chain the variety , and friendly staff make the trip worthwhile..they call you by name and hardly ever forget a face...I have been using my own grocery bags for a very long time and dont buy many prepackaged items...its hard sometimes but there is always a solution or alternative way of buying.. Way To Go Nova Scotia!!!

it would be nice if USA follows suit only if its one thing to properly dispose of or end for that matter ...I agree lets hope the chain is strong thanks

omfg yes i seen that and the group that is trying to clean that up is fighting a losing battle because of those countries who does not have any waste disposal in place ..it is sad because the poorer countries are on their own ..no one has helped in the slightest to show any way for them to get with the recycling at all...thanks my country loves using the poor countries as an excuse for changing, and we make sure those countries have no way to get better so we have the excuse. Though we pay them to stay celibate ! so maybe condoms are the only rubber we worry about.

Back in 15 Dallas attempted to ban them, making stores charge a nickel "tax" if you asked for plastic. People adjusted and started using reusable bags. You could see the difference outside - no bags stuck in trees. Our idiot governor-elect Greg Abbott whined that it was the end of the Texas free-market model and Texas is being California-ized, and you may not even be noticing it. Manufacturers of plastic bags sued Dallas saying Texas state law prohibits taxes on containers. The city council, rather than fight, repealed it and bags are back to littering the environment again.

My municipality and others near by passed plastic bag ordinances a few years ago. The attitude to be more eco conscious is slowly spreading...locally. Now, if only we can elect new federal government officials in the US who feel these seemingly small changes (as well as larger ones) are necessary...

as if they weren't bad enough, sometimes it seems as if the cashiers get a bonus for using as many as possible, doesnt it? i went to wal____ for an online pickup, and in addition to two large items, neither of which could have been bagged, the additional three small items i got came in two bags. 3 small items - 2 bags. really?  the ban may have issues in implementation, and there will always be appeals under one excuse or another, but i, as one of many, will be damn glad to see less of them in parking lots, along every highway, in trees, in the news choking wildlife, and hopefully, in our food. and as far as recycling goes, although ive done neither, i have to believe itd be better to live next to a paper recycling plant than a plastic recycling plant. what do YOU think? "well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"

This is happening in the States , too... but a grocery store in Vancouver BC came up with a creative way to stop customers from using store plastic bags. The grocery store printed embarrassing slogans on its plastic bags . For example , printed on the stores plastic bag it would say, in large lettering, Psychiatric Pharmaceuticals, or Colon Care, or Adult Video Emporium...

I know ! my country loves using the poor countries as an excuse for changing, and we make sure those countries have no way to get better so we have the excuse. Though we pay them to stay celibate ! so maybe condoms are the only rubber we worry about.

Yes that i have read in a blog on another site and i chat with ppl alot and also sound them out about those things ...people are taking action but as long as they are doing a little something its clearly a great start ..thanks i am not sure what the thin cardboard is ..i tear the thin cardboard like cereal boxes for instance and burn it in my furnace or put it in with the old flyers and newspaper ..and i agree landlords are a bitch for slack ass recycling ...

So your saying the drug smugglers, and coyotes smuggling people, should turn to truck loads of Baggies & Hefty bags, and such into Canada ?? Like once was done with ciggys from North Carolina with no tax stamps, and booze FROM Canada into the USA during prohibition?? HMMMM I guess I better stock up on my Ziplocks in all sizes here !!

I have been online reading about the countries that are less fortunate than we are in regards to recycling ..But what i dont get is people in the poor countries that dont care about recycling why dont they at least burn some of their garbage? if their heads of the country dont care enough to set things in motion then someone should be smart enough to implement that...
