    An easy, small, first step for this that would yield a huge improvement would be to introduce reusable cups, plates and cutlery at all food courts in malls. To prevent theft, add a deposit to each food purchase. Check out how much waste is produced at the Granville Island food court (except the Indian Food vendor) – and this is a major tourist attraction!

    Indeed, this is a no-brainer, and could have a significant impact.
    For lane garbage and recycling pick-up routes, residents could be assigned one side of the lane to place their garbage so trucks would only need to drive in one direction. This would probably reduce GHG emissions by at least 40%, not to mention cost savings in gas.
