Everyday Joe: Single-use plastics ban
Description
May 26, 2024
It's no secret we are in the midst of an environmental emergency. Governments and countries are now rallying to fight against the effects of climate change. Canada, for example, recently banned single-use plastics and while this is commendable, the alternatives are not. Our Everyday Joe found that out the hard way.
