Happy to present @Envie_org's refurbishing and re-use of medical equipment at @intherwaste conference.
#COVID19 and global shortages of PPE showed us exactly how unresilient / unsustainable single use products are, especially in times of crises!
Put #secondhand first! ✊

After 7 hours of negotiation, a 1 hour press conf. at 10pm translated into 3 languages by 5 different ministers explaining 367 slides containing just 4 exit phases, I’m grateful for #Wilmes’ summary: “when it isn’t authorised, it isn’t allowed”.
Mic drop.

Today we present an #EUGreenDeal which will fight climate change, protect nature, make our economy sustainable and leave nobody behind.
Because if this is not a social Green Deal, it will not be a successful Green Deal.

To be appointed President of #EUCO is a great responsibility and a task I will fulfill with commitment.
A united #Europe with respect for national diversity is my objective.
Solidarity, freedom & mutual respect are the core of the European Union. I will uphold those values.

Try to imagine it: 200 days in arbitrary detention without even a scrap of information about if or when you may be released. Virtually cut off from the outside world: no visits from lawyer or family. Isn't it about time, #China, to let your Canadian hostage go? #FreeMichaelKovrig

China has been arbitrarily detaining our colleague #MichaelKovrig for 200 days.
Michael is a Canadian national. He has yet to see a lawyer or his family.

As a 'resigned Brexit Secretary who helped negotiate the deal but then voted both for and against it, and is now endorsing a #NoDeal #Brexit & recommending bypassing Parliament if necessary', I think you’ll be more to blame than the #EU.

After Jeremy Hunt says the UK’s next Prime Minister must be trustworthy, many wonder if there’s a third candidate that they’re unaware of.
