Albertans are recycling more than ever and sending less to landfills.
But we still averaged 757 kilograms of trash per person last year.
That’s better than the government-set target of 800 kilograms.
But according to The Calgary Herald, that’s only because the province scrapped its previous target of 500 kilograms per person three years ago.
Critics say the answer isn’t throwing the target away. Instead, it should be taken more seriously.
But government officials say the target was revised to reflect what can realistically be attained.
