I just read this article, Every City Needs Vancouver's Ban on Food Scraps, on the Atlantic Cities. Interesting stuff, and I had not heard that they were to take it this far.
How far is Waterloo Region from such a plan, I wonder? My immediate reaction was that I would find it hard to adapt to a system in which no food scraps are tolerated in the waste stream: I compost and use my green bin, but also sometimes put things in the garbage that could go in the green bin if I tried harder. But I can admit that eliminating food waste entirely is a laudable goal.
