  1. I thought I was reading a lovely fairy tale with unicorns and rainbows when I finished the article “One man’s trash”. I have been involved in the recycling industry in Western Canada for almost 25 years and I can safely say that the province of B.C. (and the rest of the planet) will never see garbage as “obsolete”. China has been responsible for the “recycling” of up to 85% of the worlds plastic. As of Sept. 1st China has notified the World Trade Organization that they would stop ALL recycled plastics and mixed waste paper from importation. In the last 30 years China has become the world’s home for the rest of the planets problems and their government has had enough. Already the recycling industry worldwide is reeling from this development and completely unprepared as to how to deal with it. So don’t expect any miraculous improvements in the future as far as less materials going into your blue containers – you may soon be putting some of that right back into your garbage container just like we use to do.
