Plastic in the U.S. is largely going unrecycled, but the city says that’s not so for the plastic we put in the blue bins.

Guest: Richard Warnica, Business feature writer Plastic recycling in Ontario has been called a “green lie.” For instance, Canada produced about 1.9 million tonnes of plastic packaging in 2019, according to a recent report commissioned by the Canada Plastics Pact. Of that, the authors estimate just 12 per cent was sent for recycling. Now, things might be changing. Ontario is modernizing the recycling regime in the province, putting more of the onus on companies to deal with their packaging waste. Along with action from Ottawa, now could be the time where we all get more real about recycling and making it actually work. This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Matthew Hearn and Raju Mudhar.

Florida has numerous cases of murder victims whose identities have yet to be found. In most of these cases, their murderers also go undiscovered. Yet, we strive to seek justice. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has around 360 unsolved homicides and a dedicated team of COLD CASE investigators working on the most GUT-WRENCHING homicides, dating back to 1962. These are those stories...

As recycling at long last rolls out in Prince Rupert, we head to Dawson Creek where residents are still struggling to separate their paper and plastic... and even their kitty litter.

On this week's episode the gals from Green and Gritty sat down with environmental advocate and influencer Elizabeth, commonly known on social media as ZeroWasteCutie. In this interview we get to know our guest, her experiences working with environmental non-profits, as well as her time spent working at a Materials Recovery Facility. We take a dive into the world of waste, recycling, and the complex concepts related to this field. We will answer questions such as what is Zero Waste Living, what do people mean when they say NIMBY, and what are the Five R's.

Canadian historian Ken Coates joins to explain the context in the escalating dispute between fishers and the indigenous community in Nova Scotia. Alex shares her thoughts on the claim that criminals are using CERB to purchase guns. And, Parker Gallant from Energy Perspectives joins to review the Ford government's proposed changes to the Ontario recycling program. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From ecopolitical history to tips on environmental activism techniques, this episode is the perfect primer on ecopolitics in Canada.

Before you throw it in the Blue Bin, ask yourself: "Is It Recyclable?" Let's play again our favorite game. This time, with Lighters. We also will discuss the challenges around take back programs in the cannabis industry, given the fact that child resistant packaging may be impacted. Do you want to collaborate?

GUEST: Joanne St. Godard, Recycling Council of Ontario

Libby Znaimer is joined by Jeff Yurek, Ontario Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, Annette Synowiec, Director of Policy at Toronto Solid Waste Management Services, Keith Brooks, Programs Director at Environmental Defence, and Councillor James Pasternak, Chair of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee. Torontonians have been using blue bins for the last 30 years as a system to dispose of their plastic waste. David Lindsay, special advisor on the management of recycling and plastics, released a report that indicates that 30 percent of that waste ends up in landfills. Now, the blue bin program is set for an overhaul by the Ford government. Ontario Minister of the Environment Jeff Yurek wants to shift the burden from our cities.

How do we resolve the plastic pollution? Jason Young, CEO of the Allan Company based in Southern California, discusses a possible solution with John Sacco. However, the solution involves more than just putting “recyclables” in the blue bin. It requires packaging manufactures to think past the initial shelf life or their products. These issues lead to what we call the Blue Bin Myth: what can and cannot be recycled.

Melanie Zettler, Producer at Global News Toronto, joins John Oakley to discuss (and quiz him) about her new series regarding recycling. 

In this episode, Marie talks about how she deals with lunches during the school year. The $2.00 Blue Bin that made everything easier, and how she uses a thermos. She also talks about what she thinks of the "mom police" and what others think you "should" do. Pyrex measuring cup (not an affiliate link)

When a material (like paper) or a container (like a bottle or a can) has served its original purpose and still has useful life remaining, that material will remain in use as ingredients in recycled-content products - if you put it in your recycling bin. But not everything should go in that bin.                Bob Henkel manages Recycling On The Go for St. Louis Earth Day. He has BIN there & done that Green thang at hundreds of events, with thousand of humans. He know his recycling stuff. So does Earthworms host Jean Ponzi. This conversation sorts through - literally! - what can and cannot be recycled, and why it's important not to use that Blue Bin as a catch-all for stuff you WISH could continue to be useful, if somebody else does something with it.  Coming up June 30, 2018: the second Recycling Extravaganza collection this year for hard-to-recycle stuff. Check it out - and remember to ONLY bring what will be accepted! Global market shifts are puttin' the squeeze on our recycling industry. We need to work together with our recycling service pros to keep this fundamental Green activity functioning, solvent and useful. Got Sustainable Living questions?

The future of our planet depends in part on what we do with our garbage.
