i think the main thing we can do is stop making waste. There is already so much garbage and plastic created for packaging. No matter how little space it takes up, it is a waste of space and the emissions created to melt down the plastic that does get recycled is rediculous. They should stop forcing recycling and start forcing the use of green bins. Companies are using more and more bio-degradable packaging and I think it sould be manditory. Enough of those plastic coated paper coffee cups. If you want your coffee to go, bring a thermos to Tim Hortons. (You get your coffee a few cents cheaper that way anyway, even more money saved if you make your morning coffee at home.)
Things like this aren't manditory yet, but I think the time is quickly approaching. In the meantime people need to start doing what they can, and use cloth grocery bags, reusable mugs etc.
