The Plastic Crisis
The urgent need to reduce plastic waste and find sustainable alternatives
Land
Did you know that Canada's landfills were burdened with an astonishing 5.8 to 6.4 million kilograms of plastic cannabis packaging from October 2018 to August 2019. This rampant plastic waste not only poisons our soil and water but also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss. It's high time we take action to reduce our plastic usage.
Water
It's heartbreaking to know that every year, more than 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, and half of it comes from single-use packaging. This plastic not only harms the sea but also endangers human health. Marine animals get entangled, injured, and killed by plastics, and they can even enter the food chain, posing a threat to all living beings.
Air
Are you aware that plastic pollution has a detrimental impact on both our oceans and the air we breathe? Plastic, which is derived from fossil fuels, emits harmful pollutants into the atmosphere during its creation and disposal. As plastic disintegrates into minuscule pieces, these microplastics can travel vast distances and wreak havoc on clouds, weather patterns.
