Plastic Bag Sculpture--the impact of plastic pollution

[Catherine]

Most apartments were not build for recycling or green waste programs.  They are trying to fix that, but it will take time.

All you can do now is bring home less plastic in the first place.
Canvas and other reusable bags are available in many places. Certainly they can be purchased online. Have you checked the stores you shop at. Some have very good bags at reasonable prices. 

I try to buy things that have less  packaging.
I am lucky that Toronto picks up organic/kitchen waste and composts it. We are trying very hard to divert garbage from the land fill sites.

Can you call your city counselor and ask for recycling programs.  We have drop off points for batteries and light bulbs.
Every bit helps.
