Banned straws 🧃 — Single use plastics will be banned. Camp councillors are in short supply. Europe is burning more coal.

Get your metal straws and tote bags ready, because the age of single-use plastic items is coming to an end in Canada as the federal government rolls out its long-anticipated plan to ban disposable plastic items like bags, cutlery, and containers. Canadian summer camps are struggling to find enough camp counsellors to meet the end-of-school-year rush. Running low on natural gas imported from Russia, European countries are turning to coal in a bid to lower energy prices and avoid shortages. The Peak Daily is produced by 306 Media Productions.
