Happy International Plastic bag free day!

ILO's team encourages you to use environmentally friendly bags.

Today, we celebrate Plastic Bag Free Day! July 3rd was chosen to be the International Plastic bag free day. The global initiative has one big goal: eliminate the use of single-use plastic bags in the world.

Good news for Canada! The Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last year that Canada will ban "harmful" single-use plastics as early as 2021 in a bid to reduce ocean waste.
