"The scourge of plastic pollution, as well as being an environmental & human health threat, is a climate threat. We cannot let the forecast tripling of virgin plastic by 2060 happen. Right there we have a CO2 emissions problem." Our Chief Scientist, Dr Tony Worby at #COP28

It was great to catch up with The Social on @CTVToronto! @ChelseaRochman was on to talk all things #microplastics, including the potential harm but more importantly the role we can all play to lessen this impact. Watch the full segment here: youtu.be/DP759DcnSxU?si=gYdy…

Beware the plastic wet wipe!
👻#HappyHalloween... want to hear something really scary? When a #plastic #wetwipe is flushed down the toilet, it doesn't just disappear... it travels and can end up in our lakes and oceans! Follow along to see the spooky and chilling journey of a flushed wet wipe. #WipesvsPipes
