Do you know that a lot of the plastic waste Canada generates is sent abroad to be recycled? Or that putting your organic waste on the trash bin is doing a lot more harm to the planet than it seems?
In today's episode we talk to Keroles Riad, PhD candidate at Concordia University and the leader of Waste Not, Want Not compost initiative at the same University, which aims to increase composting and reduce waste on campus. We talk about why compost is important, how plastics are ending up across the world to be recycled, government policies, the importance of regulations, infrastructure and education to help people break some negative habits, and everything related to waste.
Listen to this 101 episode about how YOU can do better while composting and recycling, not only for the environment, but for your health and the communities around you.
