To the editor,
Re: City asks province to approve bylaw banning checkout bags, Oct. 28.
It’s good that the city is taking steps to reduce waste – another idea would be to ban the excessive use of single-use balloons by businesses. This would be an easy step to show that the city is serious about the environment and could inspire other municipalities to do the same.
