Sorry ⁦@LidlGB⁩ - but “prevented ocean plastic” being made into yet more plastic water bottles; used once and then trashed; is not in any way circular. Please have these bottles scientifically tested for chemicals that are known to be harmful. ethicalmarketingnews.com/lid…

Yet again France leads the way on exposing truth on #plastictoxins. Good article here on the disproportionate impact on women - however the science on men’s fertility reduction is very well researched. And of course the people working on OUR dumps 🤯 vogue.fr/beauty-tips/article…

Japan living in 2050 as usual 🤯 this is a beer tablet —non-alcoholic it’s flavored as beer but it foams at the top when added to water to emulate a fresh “pour” 🍻🍺 …. can’t wait to see who brings this to the US and raises $10M for it 😂

And so it began. The pension schemes finally backing those who use existing laws to call fossil fuel directors to account. Shell directors personally sued over ‘flawed’ climate strategy theguardian.com/environment/…

This is not a climate crisis, this is a planetary crisis with the very real threat of mass extinction - of us. Not uplifting but important viewing for all.

More forensics from @WasteCounter showing us where our carefully ‘recycled’ plastic waste actually ends up. German citizens believe their country is exemplary at recycling. Unfortunately collection from your diligently separated home bins does NOT mean diligent home recycling 🤨
👀Look at explosion of plastic waste exports from Germany to Asia Nov 2022 Reports show German mechanical recyclers shutting down due to high energy costs, so they're flooding Asia to get rid of their #plasticpollution waste Hey @eu_comission Circular Economy of Plastics = Hoax

The US has blocked and delayed climate action in part because oil markets underpin the dollar as a reserve currency. Transitioning away from fossil fuels will weaken US hegemony. They are apparently willing to harm the whole world to preserve it.

"#Plastics is choking the planet. This is not just a pollution & toxics crisis, but very much an oil & gas crisis. We cannot fight the climate crisis without getting off of fossil fuels & we cannot get off fossil fuels without reducing plastics production," CIEL's @NikkiReisch.

Great chat with @michaelhayman . A little less conversation, a little more action now - if you please. Or actually, even if you don’t. @aplastic_planet #turnofftheplastictap. #plasticcrisis #ClimateCrisis
In the latest episode, @michaelhayman is joined by @siansutherland, co-founder of @aplastic_planet. When it comes to the climate crisis, Sian cuts to the chase ❌ Not only does she pinpoint plastic as the cause but she also has the roadmap to a brighter future. Link in bio🎧
If only all governments were this brave. This is why ordinary people vote. We deserve better.

Paris is working to become a '15-minute city' where everything you need is located locally within 15 mins. Every street will have a bike lane, 60,000 parking spots are being removed & replaced with parks. They aren't done yet. We have the solutions implement them. #ActOnClimate

Smart? Or the marketing trick of the 21st century in every way from contents to bottle to messaging? (Yes I did put it in a bin after- futile I know as no one in UK really wants this recycled #plastic - nothing circular here, just chemicals and waste compounding up. #tapwater
