The same response with plastic bags – “well, we don’t want to ban plastic bags because the alternative bags that are primarily made from corn have not yet been proven to be safe in the marine environment”

WAKE UP!!! This mentality DEFIES LOGIC!!! What percentage of our total plastic bags end up in the marine environment and what percentage end up in our smoke stack? Isn’t it better to have a bag that is 100% compostable than not?

Dept of Environment, we are expecting MUCH MUCH more out of you!!! YOU serve US!!!!!!!!

I wonder what the Ministry’s response will be when there are no more weeds around to kill! Or birds, or fish or whistling frogs and lizards.

There is nothing good old fashioned manual labour and a hoe can’t fix!

Put some in a glass and drink it, if it’s so harmless.
