  1. People must stop buying and over consuming! Unfortunately lot of people in the Americas take on loans for unnecessary things, while in Europe we would rather build up the amount to pay for something upfront. I have had an Iphone 7 for 8 years, and I have now bought an Iphone 11 upfront to make an example.

  2. batteries sums up us policy, not in my backyard, clothes, batteries even trash and recycling all shipped to countries with little environmental regulations, same with buying all those products, mined and produced with less regulations

  3. The best way forward is ban making plastic and go back to paper bags glass bottles wooden products and less clothing than each person needs etc help save the planet

  4. There needs to be 3000 Interceptors deployed asap. Homeless people should be mandated to work the machines. India and the far east should be made to pay a gloabl tax for their impact on oceans. Illegals in America should be made to work in landfills for 5 years sorting trash to recycle in order to earn citizenship.

  5. Toronto stinks of trash. It's difficult to clean the large bins the city requires. Most bins end up with rotting waste and mold on the bottom. The City should clean the bins since most people can't.
