If you have Netflix, “The Devil We Know” about sums things up. It’s awful...brianlux said:PJPOWER said:Plenty of documentaries on this crap :(

Sounds awful."Since PFAS rarely break down in the environment, they can linger in water and air for thousands of years, landing them the nickname "forever chemicals." Consuming or inhaling them means they could stay in the body for life."We are too clever for our own good. I stopped using non-stick cookware years ago. Kind of surprised I ever fell for that crap in the first place. I picture in my head some cynical commercial saying, "Cooking with chemicals for an easier life!"

Looks good and I'd really want to see it and I have Netflix, but they must only stream it. My internet connection is weak so we only do DVD's. Bummer.PJPOWER said:

Go Canada!
Canada aims to ban single-use plastics by 2021
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the ban will likely include plastic bags, straws, cutlery, plates, and stir sticks.

Noy at all. This Clown declared a climate emergency in Parliament. The bnext day he approved a 9.5 billion (tax $$$) pilepiline that is very controversial. A week later, he committed 270 million (tax $$$) to invest in an LNG facility. Trudeau and BC are leftest paradises...so please explain how much the left is doing?brianlux said:Meltdown99 said:

Hopefully Sweden and the rest of Europe follows. And who knows, maybe the US after Trumps second term."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Yes, and I think it's a good start. More is needed, that's for sure, but I'm glad to see things moving that way. I hope we start to move away from plastic even faster.Spiritual_Chaos said:

And nothing has been banned yet. We have an election in October and if the Conservatives are neck and neck with the liberals. Conservatives win, they'll have their own platform and agenda...brianlux said:
