What should be done with plastics? Survey extended

B.C. residents have more time to give input on what should be done with plastics.

A strong response to the CleanBC engagement about what the province could do to ban, reduce and recycle more plastics has led to the Ministry of Environment extended the comment period.

The engagement, which was originally scheduled to close Sept. 18, has been extended to Sept. 30, 2019.

“With almost 25,000 completed surveys and more than 33,000 site visits, the plastics engagement has been one of B.C.’s most popular public consultations, with comments and ideas coming in from all regions of the province,” said a government news release.
