"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

It's worth remembering that being accepted in a blue bag and actually being recycled are two very different things. Much of the plastic we've "recycled" over the years just ended up in landfills in China.

Remember the old "Where does it go?" "Away," PSAs from the late '80s and early '90s? Well, plastic recycling has been that, but at an industrial scale.
