Wood vs Plastic… But Salt Is Worse
Canada’s back to wooden forks and paper straws—again. But are we solving the right problem… or just virtue-signaling while a bigger issue destroys our infrastructure?
In this episode, host Mike and guest Paul (former sanitation worker / “recycling crew” firsthand experience) break down what the plastic cutlery ban really means—and why road salt might be the environmental and economic crisis Canadians are ignoring.
In this conversation, we cover:
• Why plastic cutlery recycling often doesn’t actually happen (and where it ends up)
• The politics vs. practicality of switching to wooden forks and paper straws
• How road salt accelerates corrosion, damages infrastructure, and impacts waterways
• The hidden costs: municipal spending, long-term repairs, and environmental fallout
• Real alternatives cities could scale (sand, brine, beet juice blends, and more)
