WATCH: Canadians react to ban on single-use plastics

MONTREAL, Canada — People in Toronto react to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement that his government will seek to ban single-use plastics by 2021.

Many say they support the move, believing the use of plastic “is not necessary."

"It will affect people maybe, because they don’t have the things (bags, ed), but we need to learn. If it is banned, we are going to learn. People need to learn that the environment is important for everyone, for us, for our children, for future generations," Evelyn, Toronto resident said.
