No Plastic Shopping Bags! What will we Do?

submitted by Chase Environmental Action Society

Finally, Canada will ban the manufacture and import for sale of single use plastics in an effort to achieve zero plastic waste by 2030, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.The ban covers single-use plastics including checkout bags, cutlery, food service ware, ring carriers, stir sticks and straws, the federal government stated.

The ban on the manufacture and import of single-use plastics has already come into effect as of December 2022. But the distribution and sale of these items will not be prohibited until December 2023 to “allow businesses in Canada enough time to transition and to deplete their existing stocks,” according to the government’s website.

Up to 15 billion checkout bags are used every year in Canada, according to government data. Plastic shopping bags provided by our local grocery stores are made of polyethylene and can take up to a 1000 years to biodegrade. Much of this material ends up in our oceans despite recycling practices. See “The Story of Plastic” https://www. storyofstuff.org/movies/the-story-ofplastic-documentary-film/

But we’ve all become very dependent on plastic bags and wonder how we will ever do without them. Here are some alternatives:

Reusable bags made from cotton or jute that’s durable and will last for hundreds or thousands of uses, and are degradable at the end of life.

Small cardboard boxes or containers. They fit in your shopping buggy and can be used many times. They also help keep your bread and produce from being squashed.

Nylon bags can be folded small enough to fit into your purse or pocket. You’ll always have a bag with you.

Baskets that are made sustainably (eg bamboo) and support local or fair-trade economies. There are many sizes and options to choose from.

Shopping trolley. You don’t need bags at all.

Not recommended are plastic bags labeled biodegradable or compostable as they are not accepted in most organic programs in BC and still take years to break down and leave a plastic residue. Paper bags are available, but used too often will only add to more deforestation.

Another concern for people is not having a plastic bag to line their garbage bins with. This isn’t necessary. Your garbage doesn’t have to be in bags. It can be dumped directly into the outside garbage bin. It’s our hope that Chase will have a compost program in the near future to deal with our organic waste thereby eliminating more garbage.

In the end it’s up to all of us to curb our impact on our planet. Using less plastics and having less garbage will make a big
