Our province also started making it law that groceries charge for plastic bags and encourage people to use re-usable boxes or bags. I think it very important that we take care of our environment. Many people also have composters in their backyards, where they put vegetable/fruit waste. I'm interested to learn what kind of recycling program you have in your country and do you recycle?

I find it interesting what a difference a city or two can make! (I'm also from Ontario!)
We have blue boxes for can, plastics, and glass.
We have BLACK boxes for paper products.
And I hear that we'll be getting green boxes soon for compostable things, which is pretty awesome!
