March 22nd is #WorldWaterDay 💧
Plastic waste has filled our oceans & settled in our lakes, it ends up in drinking water & it kills and harms countless creatures. The only question is how are we going to change & what are we going to do to #stopplastics

🍴Single-use plastics are unnecessary, wasteful & harmful to our health & the environment; they create waste, pollution, harm fish, plants, wildlife & the natural environment, leaching toxins into soil, water & air; poisoning, injuring & killing wildlife & their offspring.1/4

🌎🌍🌏🚢🔥 Much single-use plastic waste is offloaded to poorer countries where it is regularly burned or abandoned, shortening inhabitant's lives & destroying their environment.This is just one aspect of environmental racism. 4/4

🗑️ Single-use items are not only made of plastic but most are wrapped in plastic packaging. Though there is pushback, there are multiple alternatives. We have no time to 'waste'. 5/4 (oops)
Thanks to #StopPlastics volunteer Leslie K.for this 👏
Happy #EarthDay

Dear Plastic Fighting Allies:
While waiting for Covid restrictions to lift, StopPlastics has made a way for Torontonians to convince city council and city staff to implement the plastic bans we so urgently need. We have created a schedule* focusing on a single use plastic (1/5)
