Having lived in eco-friendly Europe and Asia for 22 years means that recycling, upcycling and being a concious consumer are completely natural to me so I was shocked and disappointed to discover the exact opposite when I returned to Canada.
I knew that North America was A LOT more consumerist and wasteful than (most) of Europe but my daily interactions and recent radio interview really opened my eyes to just how little the average Canadian knows about the earth-friendly lifestyle.

I have been striving to become less wasteful and doing things without plastic , however, having Rheumatoid Arthritis really puts a cramp in things. After watching the video, there is no way my hands would let me replace a razor blade like the one shown. And, due to the medications I have to take, I end up with plastic prescription bottles as well as OTC bottles of the things I have to use (doctor’s orders). I wish there was a way to stop using plastic on those fronts.
