I have come to despise #Plastic
You buy a pair of scissors, shrink moulded in a 8x12 plastic-paper backing, that needs scissors to get open? I've started to avoid products sold by places like #Dollarama that is ALL PLASTIC (fakes)

BUT, I also repurpose, reuse and recycle plastic.
NOT all is recycled, we have some that aren't.

I have every PB and Mayo jar we ever emptied, reused in my workshop.
Every pill bottle, screw storage or CAT TREATS..
I have to stop that. 1 of us needs a real pill

How in the feck are we going to recycle this shit? #Plastic fused to cardboard, to be separated for recycling? Can't be done. These sealed plastic items are the fashion at this one store. I think I'm done purchasing from them. All the prices are jacked, the packaging costs more than the item to produce. Mad at retail again!!!

I don't shop. I don't buy what I don't need. I needed something to hold my phone in the vehicle, so I bought three cell phone holders at #Dollarama .

La cité du dollar, un article de @jfn

«À Sainte-Lucie, dans cette jolie île des Caraïbes, M. #Robillard a entrepris en 2019 de se faire construire une luxueuse maison de 3500 pieds carrés sur une propriété de 79 acres, au milieu des #Pitons, une zone volcanique identifiée par l’#UNESCO comme un trésor de l’humanité. Des pétitions, des campagnes dans les médias sociaux et des interventions dans les médias n’ont pas fait reculer l’homme d’affaires qui, selon le quotidien, a touché 126 millions de dollars sur les ventes de #Dollarama au cours des 14 dernières années. »
