If you're driving around the far-reaches of our suburbs these days, you’ll start to see something surprising: an influx of great, independently owned restaurants. Historically, many a Calgarian has complained about neighbourhoods being overrun by lacklustre chains while they yearn for good contemporary restaurants, a wide range of interesting global cuisines, and friendly mom ’n’ pop shops.

They argued that it took more energy to produce paper bags than plastic bags. If you Google “How much CO2 is emitted in the production of a paper bag," you will find interesting results. Each plastic bag produced creates 0.04 kilograms of greenhouse gas (CO2).  Each paper bag produced creates 0.33 kg of greenhouse gas or approximately eight times more. Yet, I see few people reusing paper bags. Read More
