this government has also all but put an end to recycling in this province and replaced it with burning garbage, which is going to make our air quality - and the air quality of our neighbours - dramatically worse. this disastrous waste management approach needs to be aggressively reversed by the next government, which needs to view recycling as a public service and not a market service and move to create a publicly funded recycling model that is run by government employees and paid for with tax dollars, at a loss. ontarians need to accept that recycling is neither free nor profitable, but is a necessary public service that the state has a health mandate to enforce, at a justified cost to taxpayers.
