Petition to the Government of Canada
  Whereas:
  
    Washer fluid jugs contribute upwards of 70 million unrecyclable cartons of plastic waste to Canadian landfills every year;
    Due to the methanol, these cartons are too costly to recycle and are subsequently thrown away; and
    There are readily available alternatives to this, as this form of plastic packaging is no longer needed.
  
  
    We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:
    1. Invest in technologies that offer alternatives to plastic packaging used for washer fluid jugs; and
    2. Add plastic packaging to the growing list of banned single use plastics.
