My wife and I always BYB (bag not beer ;) to grociery. We have a Trader Joes in town, but have since weened our selves off going there, because of their overall footprint of buying from out of the country. Plus they use so much packaging. We have a COOP in town that is w/i walking, so that is the better alt. Thanks!

Plastic bags are banned, like you bring your own multi-use bags. Waste is pre-selected by the consumer and deposited at specific collecting points. Everything, even furniture, tv’s, clothes etc. Maybe, maybe ever …

One has to bring his own carry-bags. Domestic recuperation of paper, glass, plastic, compostable matters and dangerous products are collected by municipalities. Because of costs or lack of recycling needs or means it seems that some of these materials end up in landfills anyway. There is a lot left to do namely with single-portion water bottles that spread all over the place. Social awareness is clearly established here. 300,000 people walked on Montreal streets last sunday letting me think that hope is still an option around here.

Certainly recycling activities are a point of interest for my blog.

Thanks for the prompt response.

My remarks on Brazil were based on reports from the aluminium beverage can industry that claim over 90% recycling rate.

This , of course may be a centre of excellence, in an otherwise ‘work in progress’ like the rest of planet Earth.

I am sure great strides have been made in other industries – will you be ‘drilling down’ in your analysis and commentary?

Best Regards

Roughly only 6% of all Brazilian waste is recycled. You want to call that excellent? Thanks to the catadores in some areas the alu cans are picked up, but only locally and sparsely. Read my article: Earth Day – The Brazilian Way (http://wp.me/pyK66-ub).
And no the Dutch don’t pay a tax for aerosols, they are collected and recycled like beverage cans.

I particularly like you comments about biodegradable material, which composting companies cannot handle because it biodegrades too slowly and with residues unknown. Accordingly, the Sun Chips PR efforts by FritoLay are greenwashing at their worse.
