Maybe this is a city vs country thing. I grew up in the country and we had a compost pile and we didn't use a lot of plastics. I don't live in the country now so I do not know what Canadian country people are like.
I think people in the city are less in touch with the land because they are surrounded by concrete. This is not true of everyone. Many are very environmentally conscious, but a lot are not. The bulk of plastic pollution comes from cities because the majority of our garbage comes from the cities. If we are going to change things and reduce plastic pollution we need to get city people to work at it. Banning single use plastics is important, but we also have to get the people to cooperate with the ban. It is going to be an uphill battle.
