👀 Did you know #radonc? Our tx machines unintentionally release a potent #greenhousegas SF6 every day that is 23,000x worse than #CO2
🔍 We dug into the data & found the collective leakage from all tx machines 🌍 = 1 yr emissions from >14k cars 🚗💨
...& its other #medtech too

This is big and bleak news. The planetary boundary for chemical pollution (aka 'novel entities') has been quantified for the first time - and it's now clear that humanity is massively transgressing levels that are safe for life on Earth. Plastics! Read on. theguardian.com/environment/…

The @CocaCola company and its hundred of brands produce 3500 plastic bottles a second. More than 200,000 a minute. Most destined for landfill.
Until we boycot these corporations, our reusable coffee mugs and water bottles pale into insignificance
