Well done Vancouver! This is definitely a step in the right direction! #lesswaste
Time to say goodbye to the plastic foam containers that you order your takeout food in — at least if you're in Vancouver. The city has banned foam plates, cups, bowls, trays, cartons and containers. Do you think this ban is a step in the right direction? ow.ly/GfSm50xOhwX

In 2019, we launched @10000Changes — an initiative aimed at helping Canadians rethink their plastic use. It's been a great success so far (it's still going at 10000changes.ca!) and it's produced lots of great content like this eco-friendly roundup! ow.ly/C7TB50xyHQT

#10000changes party tips: Our Christmas party wasn’t totally #PlasticFree this year but we used paper condiment cups for Jell-O shots, and our fabulous caterer @BorealChef provided bamboo plates and compostable utensils. @10000Changes

It’s no secret the holidays can be unnecessarily wasteful. In an effort to reduce that, I’ve got some easy and reusable gift-wrapping ideas for you! These took me no time at all, are made with things I had at home and can be reused once opened! thefamilygraham.com/family-g…

So cute
Recently, @Gap launched their "Upcycled Puffer" jacket made from 40 discarded plastic bottles. It's also made with 100% recycled fill, shell and lining (although the buttons, zippers and trims aren't from recycled materials yet). Would you consider purchasing one? #10000changes

Great to see work like this. It's exactly the kind of positive change @CanGeo + @RCOntario's @10000Changes program is hoping to motivate.... @mcgillu prof working on way to make bio-plastic from shells of pesky crabs | SaltWire saltwire.com/news/provincial…

Did you know that one garbage truckload of plastic enters the ocean every single minute? That's why we're seeing more and more headlines like this one. When it comes to tackling plastic pollution, we all have a role to play — so Canada's taking action. cbc.ca/news/technology/whale…

It is a #privilege to be featured on 10,000 Changes for our #recycling #technology. They encourage a new way of thinking of the 3 R's of recycling - #Refuse, #Replace, #Reimagine. We certainly re imagined the recycling process for post-consumer #plastic.
Have you heard of sustainable tech company Omachron? They see plastic as a resource rather than waste because they've invented a machine to turn plastic into new goods that can be continuously recycled and remade! Take a look now at this Ontario invention: ow.ly/Sa4j50x6iSO
