N.S.’s single-use plastic bag ban plan ‘not beneficial’ for environment, says lobbyist | CBC News
There you go. PEI did it… Nova Scotia can’t.
Joe Hruska, vice-president of sustainability at the Canadian Plastics Industry Association, urged the province to delay passing the bill to give the industry more time to properly educate politicians on the issue.
“Social media and public pressures, I think, based on misinformation, emotion, lack of science and education are driving the narrative,” Hruska told the law amendments committee during his 10-minute presentation. “We can state categorically those drivers will not solve your environmental problems.”
He said “banning plastic bags is not beneficial to the environment.”
