Toronto Considers Ban On Paper Coffee Cups

摘要

Toronto is considering ways to reduce the number of coffee cups making it to landfill sites, reported cbcnews.com. The City of Toronto is considering everything from a tax to an outright ban on objects like paper coffee cups, fast-food containers and plastic bags that clog the recycling system. By 2010, Toronto wants to send only 30 percent of its garbage to landfill sites. But to achieve that goal, the city said, it needs to limit the garbage that takes up a lot of space - and that means reducing Styrofoam cartons, plastic bags and the ubiquitous paper coffee cup.
