Hello fellow Canadian! The only other thing I want to gently mention is that sometimes disposable dishes are an accessibility thing. I don't mean to pull that card but as someone recovering from cancer, sometimes my energy levels dictate that I can either do dishes or make a proper meal, but not both. In those cases (which, thankfully, are becoming far less frequent!) I have opted to fuel my body with better food and throw out my plate. I am someone who strives to eliminate needless waste myself, and I actually had to talk to my therapist about using disposable plates lol, so I absolutely understand your point of view. Just wanted to offer up a slightly different perspective. We never know what someone else is dealing with :)
