Many anti-plastic persons were against the fact that they ended up in the ocean and dont decompose.. Lots dont know that many of the alternatives chosen while they deconpose they use more energy overall since many plastic bags were re-used previously.
For example, people call grocery bags 'single use' when many studies showed that lots of them were recycled more than thier paper alternatives. In fact you dont need a study to show this many homes would store these for future use around the house.
One study was looking at poorer persons in the US. What happened in places that swapped was energy use went up overall int the supply chain as poor familes stopped using plastic bags for thier trash and swtiched to heavy conventional garbage bags.
Both use plastic except the garbage bags used more plastic,, and more energy to transport. So the key we should teach is recycling! Recycle whatever you use.
This is the argument the govt uses for not implementing basic transparency laws. Thier claim "we have bigger problems"
So i ask, are solving these issues mutually exclusive? Each person should be able to raise what issues are dear to them. Some persons cause are health issues, some are passionate about crime, others energy, others education, others freedom of press, others traffic, some. beautificatiom, some.road paving, some labour relations, others banking or tech, some noise, others waste etc
Some of these matters are more pressing than others.
However if a person feels strongly about this, let them voice it. You voice what you feel strongly about via a letter and I'll be with you and id encourage others do the same.
We have dozens of depts and ministries who should be able to deal with these issues. The second we stay silent we have lost.
Birdie you always bring up toogie, bobo, vat going up, oban and all of the stuff that occured in the past. Should we not bring those up because thats canceled and in the past?
The only way you stop problems from happening again in the future is by knowing what occured in the past. If there was impropriety then it needs to be handled. Anyway, controls need to be in place to prevent whatever problem happening again. You only do it by dealing with it.
If the PM was in opposition, they would argue the same.
thats the problem. He wont persons wont until they do. Govts dotn realize that very few persons want to spend money doing what they should do so they avoid the headache. (unless they get a sweetheart deal or massive break or concession)
Whats worse...the commisioner has the weakest statement. "I have been told".
What tthe COP should have said was...so and so had a contract. They were directed to be cancelled. Our new policy going forward is ....All current contracts are being reviewed for similar cancellations.
Now this makes it seems like the OPM is running the force.
