Many ads on Craigslist and kijiji no longer free

 Since more than one year ads in the services section of Kijii and Craigslist  and several other sections  in Canada,including Montreal are not free.People have to pay money to put ads in the tutoring section and many other sections by credit cards or electronic means.

                                   This makes these two platforms less democratic and excludes those who do not use credit cards from putting ads in many sections.One cannot pay for ads by cash or debit card.

                                      Those who are marginalised find themselves more marginalised and more alienated from these platforms.Free ads was a great policy and should be restored.

Too much censorship on Craigslist and Kijiji in Montreal

 There is too much censorship and moderation on craigslist and kijiji in ads in Montreal,even in ads where no violence,terrorism or underage sex is being promoted.I wish they would reduce censorship drastically and make these platforms more free.Facebook is relaxing censorship ,why do kijiji and Craigslist not follow suit?

                        People routinely go to kava bars in Polynesia,especially in Vanuatu;they socialise,relax and consume several shells in kava bars.

                             Simon Gellar,a criminology professor at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom told CBC's AS IT HAPPENS on December 4,2024 that drinking kava helped him deal with chronic pain because he has degenerative disc syndrome in his lower back.So by chance he found out from consuming Kava that it reduced systemic inflammation.

                             Probably kava should be legalised in other countries too.Why be so puritanical?

Plastic is not inherently recyclable

 Plastic is not inherently a recyclable material.

     When you recycle plastic-quote/unquote-recycle-you have to add a whole bunch of new virgin plastic-as much as 70 to 80 per cent-to create anything with any structural integrity that will stand up and perform and do what you need it to do.Plus,you have to add a whole bunch of more toxic chemicals.There's really no such thing as plastic recycling.There's down cycling.

              Down cycling is for example when you might take a bunch of plastic water bottles and turn them into a picnic bench or decking for a porch.So you're taking a material and you're grinding it up and you're adding a whole bunch new material and turning it into something that's a lot less complicated.

              Plastic recycling is an abject failure.When you're talking about Big Plastic,you're talking about Big Oil,and Big Oil is fantastically powerful.Big plastic has a squadron of lawyers to protect its business interests.

                   We need to stop making so much of plastic,a toxic material.Plastic does not break down in the environment.Durable plastic is still much better than single-use disposable plastic.

                Manufacturing less plastic and buying fewer plastic products is the best solution.More people need to realise this and act accordingly by altering their consumption habits.
