> It would be far better to promote banning of single serving aluminum cans Uh, what? Aluminum cans are actually one of the things that can be easily recycled, and it's economic too. If anything should be done it is to mandate the introduction of bottle/can recycling machines like "Tomra" in the US. > and plastic/styrofoam packaging for goods within the store. That plastic packaging does actually serve a purpose which is not easy to solve in other ways though. People think plastic wrapped vegetables is stupid, but it helps keep the vegetables fresh for longer, which reduces waste. There are organic compostable "plastic" films that should eventually be used instead. But it's work in progress. Meanwhile, replacing a single use grocery bag for a reusable one is something that can be done instantly today.
