Canada will ban single-use plastic items by the end of next year

加拿大將在明年年底禁止一次性塑料制品

(A woman in Toronto carries her groceries in plastic bags.)

（多倫多的一位婦女用塑料袋提著她的食品雜貨）
新聞：

Travelers to Canada should not expect to see some everyday plastic items starting next year.

從明年開始，去加拿大旅行的人可別指望每天都能看到塑料制品。

The country plans to ban single-use plastics -- checkout bags, straws, stir sticks, six-pack rings, cutlery and even foodware made from hard-to-recycle plastics -- nationwide by the end of 2021.

加拿大計劃到2021年底在全國范圍內(nèi)禁止使用一次性塑料——結(jié)帳袋、吸管、攪拌棒、六罐塑料環(huán)、餐具，甚至是用難以回收的塑料制成的食品器皿。

The move is part of a larger effort by the nation to achieve zero plastic waste by 2030.

這一舉措是加拿大在2030年前實(shí)現(xiàn)塑料垃圾零排放的更大努力的一部分。

"Plastic pollution threatens our natural environment. It fills our rivers or lakes, and most particularly our oceans, choking the wildlife that live there," Canadian Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said Wednesday in a news conference. "Canadians see the impact that pollution has from coast to coast to coast."

“塑料污染威脅著我們的自然環(huán)境。它填滿了我們的河流或湖泊，尤其是我們的海洋，窒息了生活在那里的野生動物，”加拿大環(huán)境部長喬納森·威爾金森在周三的新聞發(fā)布會上說?！凹幽么笕丝吹搅宋廴緦Ω鱾€海岸的影響?！?/p>

Canada and plastic waste

加拿大與塑膠廢物

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first announced the country's plan to ban these kinds of plastics last year, describing it as "a problem we simply can't afford to ignore," according to a news release.

加拿大總理賈斯汀·特魯多去年首次宣布了該國禁止這類塑料的計劃，并在一份新聞稿中稱，這是“一個我們不能忽視的問題”。

In addition, single-use plastics have three key characteristics that make them a target of the ban, according to Wilkinson.

此外，根據(jù)威爾金森的說法，一次性塑料有三個主要特點(diǎn)，使它們成為了禁令的目標(biāo)。

According to the government, Canadians throw away more than 3 million tons of plastic waste every year -- and only 9% of that plastic is recycled.

根據(jù)政府的數(shù)據(jù)，加拿大人每年扔掉超過300萬噸的塑料垃圾，但只有9%的塑料被回收利用。

"The rest goes to landfills or into our environment," said Wilkinson.

“剩下的都進(jìn)入了垃圾填埋場或者我們的環(huán)境，”威爾金森說。

Coronavirus and plastic PPE

疫情和塑料防護(hù)用品

As the world grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, personal protective equipment has become a part of people's day-to-day lives.

在全球應(yīng)對大流行之際，個人防護(hù)裝備已成為人們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹囊徊糠帧?/p>

Nevertheless, he said the government is keeping an eye on pollution stemming from the use of protective equipment.

盡管如此，他說政府正在密切關(guān)注因使用防護(hù)用品而產(chǎn)生的污染。

The smart thing to do would be to mandate single use plastics to be uniform in shape for easy collectability and sorting for recyclability,,and enact a deposit system for them. And mandate recyclable plastics that are easily recyclable

明智的做法是要求一次性塑料在形狀上統(tǒng)一，以便于回收，并對其進(jìn)行分類，以便于回收利用。要求可回收塑料要便于回收

Error_Repulsive
charge a fee to companies for every pound of non-recyclable, non biodegradable waste they produce.
Use the funds collected from the waste fee to invest in methods to more efficiently recycle plastics.

對公司產(chǎn)生的每磅不可回收、不可降解的廢物征收費(fèi)用。
利用從廢品費(fèi)中籌集的資金投資于更有效地回收塑料的方法。

Doesn’t include single use waterbottles though

然而，該禁令不包括一次性的水瓶

I'd upvote you a million times, if I could. Single us waterbottles should have never been a thing in the first place.

如果可以的話，我會給你點(diǎn)贊一百萬次。從一開始一次性塑料水瓶本就不應(yīng)該成為什么值得關(guān)注的事情。

San Francisco banned plastic straws last year and smoothies are so inconvenient to get now. I see those straws and I can like tell the exact place where it's going to break.
I'm supposed to carry my own straw or something to be "woke" but I like don't have a handbag... Guess I'll need to buy a semi disposable fashion accessory just to be able to get smoothies now.

舊金山去年就禁止使用塑料吸管了，而且冰沙現(xiàn)在買起來很不方便。我一看到那些（紙制）吸管，就能知道它會在什么地方折斷。
我應(yīng)該帶著自己的吸管或者其他需要“喚醒”的東西，但是我喜歡不用手袋……我想我現(xiàn)在需要買一個半一次性的時尚配件才能喝到冰沙。

Well they did banned imports of plastic trash 2 years ago. Which forced trash exporters to actually do something about their plastic waste

他們兩年前就禁止進(jìn)口塑料垃圾了。這迫使垃圾出口商必須對他們的塑料垃圾采取實(shí)際行動（而不是出口了之）

Have they ever fixed the issues of the recycling companies selling the garbage too someone else vs actually recycling it?

加拿大政府有解決過回收公司再次出售垃圾，而不是真正回收處理它們的問題嗎？

That's going against a business, the government knows the only way to fuck big corporations and save the environment is by going against citizens because those don't complain by cutting campaign donations

America would never ban plastic.

美國永遠(yuǎn)不會禁止使用塑料的。

M_initank654363?
Maybe not. Encouraging recycling, reusing old products and reducing consumption patterns might be easier until it becomes normalized to regulate the market and limit the lobbyism by influential sectors in the United States.

也許不是。在規(guī)范市場和限制美國有影響力部門的游說活動成為常態(tài)之前，鼓勵回收、再利用舊產(chǎn)品和減少消費(fèi)模式可能會更容易一些。

You've got it backwards! You must REDUCE, REUSE, then RECYCLE. The order is important!

你把它弄反了！你必須減少、重復(fù)利用、然后再回收。順序很重要！

We can encourage all we want but unfortunately a majority people just don't give a shit and more than likely won't until it starts getting hard to breathe outside.
We're going to need to rely on the government to take 99% of the action. I wish it wasn't like this but it just is. People don't care about something unless it starts to directly impact their every day life.

我們可以隨心所欲地鼓勵，但不幸的是，大多數(shù)人根本不在乎，而且很可能直到室外呼吸變得困難（二氧化碳濃度過高）時才會這么做。我們打算需要依靠政府來采取99%的行動。我希望事情不是這樣，但事實(shí)就是這樣。人們不會關(guān)心一些事情，除非它開始直接影響他們的日常生活了。

Canada will not actually ban single use plastic. Most of it will be re-classified as multi-use and what's left will get special exception because its necessary for health/sanitary reasons.

加拿大實(shí)際上不會禁止一次性使用塑料。大部分將被重新歸類為“可多次使用”，剩下的將會因?yàn)榻】?衛(wèi)生原因而得到特殊的例外照顧。

ever hear of priorities?

聽說過“優(yōu)先級”嗎？

You can do more than one thing at a time

但你可以同時做多件事啊

and none of them particularly well

然后每件事都做得不太好

Lol and what's your priority? What's the nations priority? Over 300 million people and you guys cant put effort into 1 single issue regardless of "priorities"

呵呵，那你的優(yōu)先級是什么？你們國家的首要任務(wù)是什么？超過3億人，并且你們這些家伙都做不到把精力放在一個單一的問題上，更別說什么“優(yōu)先級”了

That_red_guy?
lol, my priority is to watch the show that you guys have been providing to the whole world.. First, find a suitable representative for your country, then worry about the bottles, ya'll think i'm on plastics side, but im not

呵呵，我的首要任務(wù)是看你們這些家伙提供給全世界的表演。首先，得為你們的國家選出一個合適的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，然后再考慮塑料瓶子的問題，你會認(rèn)為我支持塑料，但我不是

remember_retro?
Why "you guys" I'm not American for 1. For 2 their options are one racist sex offender trying to disrupt the world, and the other a racist sex offender trying to maintain the status quo.
Literally chosing paper bags over plastic is doing more good for the world than choosing Biden vs trump

什么叫“你們這些家伙”，第一，我不是美國人。第二，他們的選項(xiàng)是一個試圖破壞世界的種族主義性侵犯者，而另一個選項(xiàng)則是試圖維持現(xiàn)狀的種族主義性侵犯者。
毫不夸張地說，選擇紙袋而不是塑料袋，比選擇拜登還是特朗普，對世界做的貢獻(xiàn)更多

That_red_guy?

哈哈，真是場狗屁盛宴

Dude, that’s how I feel, I’m a trump supporter. If you say both sides are fucked, the left just uses fancy words to say it’s different when they do it. I hope it heads to a civil war, hopefully the cunts remember what’s really important. And it’s not voting.

伙計，這就是我的感受，我是特朗普的支持者。如果你說兩邊都被搞砸了，那么剩下的人其實(shí)也一樣，只是在做的時候用花言巧語來粉飾區(qū)別而已。我希望這會導(dǎo)致一場內(nèi)戰(zhàn)，希望那些狗娘養(yǎng)的能記住什么才是真正重要的——不是投票。

Yeah and I bet glass and metal packaging will start to rise

quick question, are condoms considered single use plastic? maybe they already passed that law in Vietnam and its why this is happening..you gotta get ahead of the game to win, I guess

一個小問題，避孕套也被認(rèn)為是一次性使用的塑料制品嗎？也許越南已經(jīng)通過了這項(xiàng)法律，這就是為什么會發(fā)生這樣的事情（譯注：洛杉磯時報文章《一家越南工廠被指控回收32萬個用過的避孕套》鏈接）。我想，你得走在比賽前面才能贏

sybesis?
Hard to say but historically speaking condoms were originally not made from plastic. And even until now, it's still a thing! I've always heard about how they still exist for those having allergies.. I honestly never saw anyone with latex allergies...?
https://www.trojanbrands.com/en/condoms/trojan-naturalamb-luxury-condoms
When you read the title "Real skin-to-skin.." from naturalamb condoms... I can't not think how using them is like having your genital parts into a lamb and having a lamb inside you. So the real skin-to-skin isn't human-human but human-lamb-human.

很難說，但從歷史上看，避孕套最初并不是由塑料制成的。直到現(xiàn)在，這仍然很重要！我經(jīng)常聽說對于那些過敏的人來說它們（乳膠避孕套）仍然是存在的。我從沒見過有人對乳膠過敏…

I was very happy at first, but then thought stores will switch to paper based bags and although better in many respects specially because of reduction of plastics particles in oceans, rivers and lakes, the increase in production of pulp products won’t be a good thing for the environment. Interestingly it will be very good for Canada pulp industry and tax revenue...

聽到這個消息一開始我很高興，但后來想到商店會改用紙制袋，雖然在很多方面更好，特別是因?yàn)闇p少了海洋、河流和湖泊里的塑料顆粒含量，但增加紙漿產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)對環(huán)境不是一件好事。但有意思的是，這對加拿大紙漿工業(yè)和稅收收入都有好處……

Paper bags are easy to recycle. Plus they make great craft supplies.

紙袋很容易回收利用。此外，它們還能做成很好的工藝品。

So don't use paper bags. Just make reusable (fabric) bags part of your lifestyle. Problem solved.
Don't make me come over there and show you how to use a hemp bag.

所以不要使用紙袋。讓可重復(fù)使用的（織物）袋子成為你生活方式的一部分。問題解決了。別讓我過去教你怎么使用麻布袋。

We could have a closed loop system with paper products thanks to recycling.

通過循環(huán)利用，我們能創(chuàng)造一個紙質(zhì)產(chǎn)品的循環(huán)利用系統(tǒng)。

aaaaaaaarrrrrgh?
Does the recycling of one paper bag produce less or more pollution than creation and disposal (in an incineration plant) of a plastic bag?
The process itself isn't free.

一個紙袋的回收比塑料袋的制造和處理（在焚化廠）產(chǎn)生的污染是少還是多？
這個過程本身并不是免費(fèi)的。

Karl___Marx?
A closed loop system doesn't involve any further resource extraction. It does not refer to emissions. Where emissions are concerned, you could easily use an abatement system or do something more proactive like source your electricity from renewables.

循環(huán)利用系統(tǒng)系統(tǒng)不涉及任何進(jìn)一步的資源開采。它沒有涉及碳排放。而涉及到排放的領(lǐng)域，你可以很容易地使用減排系統(tǒng)，或者做一些更主動的事情，比如使用可再生能源發(fā)電。
