👉Calgary has officially repealed a bylaw requiring businesses to charge a minimum bag fee and provide single-use items only when requested. The bylaw, enacted in January, faced swift political and public backlash, leading to its repeal just two weeks later. With a vote of 12-3, council agreed to scrap the controversial bylaw. Under the now-repealed rules, businesses were required to charge a minimum fee for paper and reusable bags and provide single-use items only upon request. The repeal comes into effect immediately, prompting a need for a larger conversation on behavior change.✅ . Rahman Travels 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚-𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭!

👉In response to the surge in plastic waste from single-use cups used for cold drinks, Starbucks announces the launch of redesigned disposable cups in Canada and the U.S. The new cups, containing up to 20% less plastic, aim to address environmental concerns while maintaining cup durability. Starbucks' vice president of product innovation, Amelia Landers, highlights the extensive four-year development process to optimize cup design. With cold drinks comprising 75% of U.S. beverage sales, Starbucks estimates the new cups will divert over 13.5 million pounds of plastic from landfills annually. Additionally, the redesign incorporates tactile indicators for cup size recognition and adjustments for lid compatibility. Starbucks emphasizes its ongoing commitment to sustainability, including initiatives like strawless lids and reusable cup programs, with the aim of making all packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2030.✅ .
