I would like to see more, not less, management of "flexible" plastic packaging (like food wrap, pouches and bags). Reducing the recovery target from 25%, agreed upon in 2021, to 5% is putting my future and the future of the children in our province at risk.

We need to do more to reduce the amount of plastic waste in our environment, NOW!
