Almost every Canadian has a spray can of WD-40 in the garage, but that’s about to change.
You use it to fix just about anything that needs a little lubrication, squeaky hinges, rusty bolts and even your bike chain.
Update: Thanks to @Sbhinclusion for sharing this press release from WD-40, which states that they will become compliant with th new regulation.
I read it. They’re banning VOC in spray cans, as if aerosol cans are suddenly to blame for smog. More political noise to appease the uneducated while accomplishing nothing of substance. Look at the shiny birdy, kids, and pay no mind to the industrial processes behind the curtain.
We already played this game in the 80s, when hair spray was supposedly causing the hole in the ozone layer. Look where it got us.
We banned CFCs and now there’s no hole in the ozone layer. Seems like a success to me. I wish it were as easy to get rid of our dependencies on fossil fuels.
Yeah, but it wasn’t the hair spray that did it, as the marketing would have had us all believe. It was banned (and enforced) from industrial processes, and far more importantly, trade partners also needed their own bans. The trade angle made the rule go global almost overnight, and thus it was effective.
Canadas new rule is everything but that, and therefore is useless.
A shrinking ozone hole? https://www.nasa.gov/esnt/2022/ozone-hole-continues-shrinking-in-2022-nasa-and-noaa-scientists-say
You think that’s a bad thing?
I don’t understand this. Where did it get us?
Guess we got no hair spray?
Their logic is the same as “cigarettes are fine because other things cause lung cancer too”. Guess they would rather see everything banned all at once or nothing at all.
Oh so that’s what killed the 80’s incredibly flammable hairstyles /s
With a fixed hole in the ozone layer…so not sure what their point is lol.
