WHY does it matter?

Single-use items and plastics are an issue in a local, national and global context.
Community action is needed if Canada wants to meet our climate goals for 2030.
The future of takeaway is reusable because the world demands of it.

WHY a reusable container program?

It addresses the root problem of human consumption behaviour. Recycling initiatives and greener disposables alternatives are good, but the environmental benefits tend to be much smaller compared to reducing overall consumption.

It has a visible impact. Visibility is important because it builds awareness and social norm. We're hoping this program will help spark conversation around other environmental issues and solutions as well.
