No more plastic? It’s fantastic, say Peterborough small businesses that have moved on from plastic bags

Megan Meyer holds a reusable shopping bag for a customer at Cottage Toys, a downtown Peterborough store.

More stores have moved away from single-use plastic bags to reusable or paper options.

Shoppers at Cottage Toys in Peterborough haven’t been handed a plastic bag in many years, says employee Megan Meyer, and they never will.

Meyer has been working at the store, located on Charlotte Street in the downtown area for two years, but has been shopping there for 30, and for as long as she can remember the store has offered alternatives to plastic.

“It’s horrifying how much plastic goes out,” said Meyer.

In December, Canada’s new rules on single-use plastics went into effect, and the import or manufacture of bags, straws, stir sticks, utensils and other products were outright banned.

Teaching Braille in PE – PHE America

Each school year, I teach a unit called “Abilities Awareness”. Making students aware of each other’s different abilities helps us become better citizens and leads to a more positive and inclusive school climate. This awareness leads to empathy and a deeper understanding of our peers’ individual learning needs resulting in a sense of belonging, community, and value in our school community. This unit is also an opportunity to address misconceptions surrounding different disabilities. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day.”
