Every time I'm in the US, I'm shocked at how much disposable tableware they use.

In the Brno office we use porcelain/glass cups, here it's all plastic/paper. Here they really focus on recycling and decomposable materials, but the most environmentally friendly waste is the one you don't create in the first place.

In the company cafeteria there is an educational board about how much waste is produced, that Americans throw away 2.5 million cups every hour. But the cafeteria still serves all food in disposable dishes. What's the point of the board? We know it's bad, but we serve you food in it anyway? 🤷

Hell's Bell's ! Alberta's Danielle Smith got her way. I guess all that propaganda about freezing in the dark winter months was effective!

"Canada pushes out target for net-zero electricity grid by 15 years"

"Canada unveiled finalized Clean Electricity Regulations (CER) on Tuesday that aim to create a net-zero electricity grid by 2050, abandoning its previous target of having an emissions-neutral grid by 2035.
Ottawa dialled back its original target after feedback from some provinces and energy industry participants, who said the draft CER regulations would make electricity supply in Canada less reliable and more expensive and risked creating stranded assets, government officials said in a briefing."
