🌊 Did you know that plastics have been found in the deepest recorded part of the ocean? The Mariana Trench, roughly 11,000 meters (36K feet) down at its deepest, holds detectable levels of microplastics. These are carried by turbidity currents, where they can persist in the ocean for thousands of years, breaking down into smaller and smaller particles. ❓But what kind of damage do plastics cause to oceans long-term?

Such a good idea from Eco NI

Great news for @TDHighStreet and a cleaner, greener village.

The fossil fuel age is ending & clean energy is rising. But we must go much faster & ensure all nations share the benefits. Let's turn climate necessity into development opportunity & make the transition to renewable energy fair, fast & final.

🎃 Halloween costumes are like single-use plastics. 🗑️ Most of them are made with polluting plastics like polyester, worn only once, and then thrown away. 🪄✨But with a little creativity and imagination you can concoct a plastic-free and low- waste outfit—without adding more pollution to the environment. 👻 Learn how in our latest blog: bit.ly/476iJTu 🧙 #PlasticPollutes #Halloween #Costumes #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Don’t fall for the marketing hype. 😤 ⅔ of bottled water = tap water in plastic. Choose filtered tap instead. #FilteredNotBottled #PlasticPollute #BreakFreeFromPlastic

How did we ever survive without plastic? With: 🫙 Reusable materials like glass, tin, ceramics, and cloth 🫙 Returnable container systems like beverage bottles 🫙 And truly recyclable materials like glass, metal cans, and paper. Plastic is Plan B for the fossil fuel industry and it's wreaking havoc on planet Earth. We must use nontoxic systems and materials that don't harm people and the planet. #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #PlasticFree #ZeroWaste
