I noticed McDonald's Canada restaurants now serve with wooden cutlery and paper straws, helping to eliminate all the plastic in our environment. Even Walmart Canada is eliminating their plastic bags by April 2022. It is the right thing to do although I do still line my household garbage bags with plastic.
Great idea, they have to do it here, too. And plastic bags have been banned for years. Have a great week, Vaerie
ReplyDeleteI too still use plastic bags to gather the garbage.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are ahead of us. I have seen anything like this in our area. Just recently McDonald's opened their dine in again. But it's taking a lot to get used to. We did go there on Christmas Eve because we were out doing things. The entire staff seems to be a factory for the drive through.
ReplyDeleteAwesome that your country is making this happen. Happy Holidays!
This does sound great. I try to bring this fork and spoon thing I have with me while being out. But usually, it's in the silverware drawer. I don't use straws anymore. This is another hard thing to do, but I'm getting there.
ReplyDeleteA very good idea! So good to hear this is happening. It seems to be a slow process in our country.
ReplyDeleteThat is good news. Our local grocery stores are using plastic bags all the time now. I ask for my stuff in boxes, but they aren't allowed. sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! The next step will be to provide receptacles so those wooden utensils can be composted.
ReplyDeleteI gave nylon bags you can fold up and keep in your purse and collapsible metal straws with a soft tip and cleaning brush in a tube as Christmas stocking gifts this year. We've already switched to paper straws and plastic bags will be gone in the spring. I haven't seen the wooden cutlery yet though.
ReplyDeleteThis wooden cutlery is great idea. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThe paper straws are really hard to use. I prefer plastic straws.
ReplyDeleteit's great idea
ReplyDeleteIt's good idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed fantastic news.
ReplyDeleteI don't use straws anymore.
Have a happy 2022, Christine!
Great that the plastic is reduced. Wooden forks and knives are also used here. They are really bad to use and can withstand anything. Hopefully they will be developed even better.
ReplyDeleteSo amaizing!

I really like the looks of the wooden disposable! Have not seen any in CA. I use plastic bags for my garbage too. If I used paper...my garbage woud be dripping all the way to the garbage bin in the complex.HaHa
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and great decision! Hope we see the same wooden cutlery in our restaurants.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the week ahead, and my good wishes for a happy and healthy 2022.
All the best Jan
Idaho is usual last one on for any environmental improvement.

ReplyDeletehate paper straws, always fall apart on me. cant use metal ones, would end up with chipped teeth so we have been stockpiling plastic straws for me to use
ReplyDeletecreative ...
ReplyDeletehope, earth will plastic free soon...
Good for McDonalds. I hope it catches on down here. Our local supermarket has already banned plastic bags. I hope more places move in that direction soon.
