While I was living in Montreal, I found there was a lack of environmental concern ( at least in my area). I think the only way to change wasteful behaviour is to create the appropriate legislation first, as this develops awareness of a given issue. Looking forward to the next posts.

Don't get me wrong, I think Quebec are doing a marvellous job with this, but it's only the first step and shouldn't lead to complacency. But once they've started to address "using waste as a resource", as likwidshoe says, they need to address cutting down and out waste altogether.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Quebec are doing a marvellous job with this, but it’s only the first step and shouldn’t lead to complacency.

But once they’ve started to address “using waste as a resource”, as likwidshoe says, they need to address cutting down and out waste altogether.

The real solution is in looking at "waste" as a resource to be tapped. How silly.

But then I don't pay attention much to TV or the local paper. It'll be interesting to see if the municipalities within the island of Montreal can get a composting program together. I would love to see this happen, since I'm living in an apartment. If I had a house and yard I'd have a composting pile going. I'm just starting to get into vermicomposting again. I do what I can with my worm bin, but I can't put everything in there. My freezer is already full of waiting food scraps. As a vegan, I really should have several bins, but that will have to wait til my worm population grows. We'll see where we're at in 2013, I suppose. Huh, hadn’t heard of this.
