Canada is planning to ban single-use plastics by 2021
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at last week's D-Day commemorations marking the 75th anniversary of the World War II Allied landings in Normandy.Bans of single-use plastics, such as straws, shopping bags and cutlery, are spreading quickly around the world.
"We’ve reached a defining moment, and this is a problem we simply can’t afford to ignore," said Trudeau. Trudeau didn't say which specific items would be banned. His government plans to study which are the most harmful, and use scientific evidence to guide the new standards. One garbage truck load of plastic is dumped into the ocean each minute, according to the Canadian government, and that is increasing daily.France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom joined Canada; the U.S. and Japan did not sign the charter.
