I noticed that too. I'm from British Columbia. I end up filling half my suitcase with plastic when I go home from Ottawa, because I can recycle it at home and can't recycle it here. However, even when I'm recycling at home, I wonder about it. We seem to have a good plastics recycling thing in British Columbia. A lot of it is voluntary, but they try to make it as easy as possible. I wonder how much of it is being recycled. You hear all sorts of horror stories about recycling going to landfills.
How is that system working there? How could we improve the whole recycling ecosystem?
