"Municipality of Dysart et al Plastic Reduction Challenge","Fleming College Sustainability Waste Management Program","Municipality of Dysart et al., Tamara Wilbee",,"FL_4829 ",2019,Online,,,,"Banning of single use PET water bottles has become a growing trend across Canada (Jerema, 2010). There are several reasons as to why this trend has continued to grow, with the bulk of them surrounding the environmental impacts of the PET bottle. The utilization of single-use plastic water bottles is not a sustainable option as it can lead to water shortages since the manufacturing process for a single 1L bottle of water consumes 3-5L of water (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Furthermore, the manufacturing and transportation of single-use PET water bottles is significantly contributing to climate change as they require a massive amount of fossil fuel to produce the plastic and generate significant greenhouse gas emissions to transport (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Another issue associated with single-use plastic bottles and why banning their sales is becoming more significant is that a large number are ending up in landfills, which is resulting in a loss of landfill spaces as well as the loss of the resources that have gone into the production process (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Through the implementation of a ban of single-use water bottle sales in municipal spaces, the municipality can improve their ecological footprint and ultimately become one of the Blue Communities in Canada (The Council of Canadians, 2014) should they desire to take this step.
The objective of this report is to provide information to support the Municipality of Dysart et al’s desire to ban the sale of plastic-bottled water in its municipal buildings and public spaces along with the provision of suitable alternatives and appropriate communication, education and engagement to ensure the public is aware of and adopts the use of these alternatives.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"affiliated with Dysart Et Al,environment,Fleming,landfills,Municipality of Dysart et al,Phil Jensen,plastic,plastic reduction,recycling,Sustainable Waste Management,water,water bottles",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/408380d0ed5d549ab1103d26b727cb8c.pdf,,"Fleming College - Community-Based Research",1,1

Environmental Studies",,"This project is an investigation into how single-use plastic consumptions can be reduced at Haliburton County Farmers’ Markets. It includes a literature review of existing alternatives to single-use plastics, surveys and interviews. HCFMA conducted vendor surveys, which Gallupe and Sallans then analyzed. The students also surveyed 145 market customers. Surveys focused on current market practices and opinions on potential improvements as the related to single-use plastics. Interview were also conducted with Market Managers from other Canadian farmers’ markets that have been working to lower their plastic consumption and distribution.
The study showed that 41% of market vendors self-report already avoiding single-use plastics. The most commonly reported single use plastic item at the markets was plastic bags. Customer surveys showed general support for reducing plastic at the markets and that most respondents would be willing to pay slightly more for more sustainable packaging ($0.05-$1.00). Recommendations for HCFMA include posting infographic for customers, creating vendor policies around plastic use, and potentially implementing a reusable dishes program and washing station, and/or conducting a waste audit.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"CBR,consumption,farmers' market,plastic,sustainability,Trent University,waste",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/a32a6175d3a389dc7b4d36fcd7271a32.pdf,,"Trent University - Community Based Research",1,0

Environmental Studies ",,"In light of last year’s successful project, Dysart et al and Fleming College have agreed to continue working on the Plastic Waste Reduction Challenge. This year’s project will shift the focus away from material bans and instead focus on building an understanding of the current cultural mindset of both residents and businesses with regards to waste and environmental/sustainability issues. This information can inform the adoption of future initiatives, campaigns, and bylaws. This year’s class applied various survey best practices to design and develop surveys to obtain specific information about resident and business consumption habits and perceptions of environmental initiatives regarding single-use plastics. The data gathered from the surveys will provide valuable information regarding which demographics and businesses would be most responsive to future promotion and education campaigns. In addition to the survey work undertaken this year, the Sustainable Waste Management class has provided a wide selection of potential promotion and education strategies to aid in Dysart’s objective of fostering a shift in environmental consciousness.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"CBR,challenge,consumption,environmental education,Fleming College,plastic,sustainability,waste reduction",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/21c2bee5e4f172dc42eedd4bee6ed2ff.docx,,"Fleming College - Community-Based Research",1,0
