"Every piece of trash lifted from the sand is a quiet victory for the ocean. plastic that would choke marine life, poison food chain, pollute waters; removing it helps to create a better world.

Campaigning helps reduce plastic pollution by spreading awareness, encouraging people to switch to cloth bags, and inspiring community action that leads to real everyday change.

Plastic pollution isn't just an environmental issue, it is also health issue..
From production to disposal, the risks are pervasive.
To end plastic pollution join @Plasticsimpact campaign & do #SUPsep for better tomorrow

We're pushing for national and regional cleanup events but let’s try to task plastic manufacturers to adhere on the Extended Producer Responsibility which will help reduce plastic wastes circulating in our ecological systems & clogging drainage channels triggering flash floods – at Kampala, Uganda

Small conveniences add up to a big plastic problem for destinations that welcome millions of visitors.

Today is #WorldCleanupDay 🚮🌊
⚠️ 80% of ocean plastic comes from land.
Collect waste, sort it properly and help stop litter before it reaches the sea.

Europeans are discarding more #textiles than ever, reaching a record high in #waste, harming our environment
We need to shift now from fast fashion to long-lasting & recyclable fashion.
Join @Plasticsimpact
and Do #SUPsep for better tommorow

As part of the FLOWERS project, @EndPlasticsNow we're establishing an Organic Waste Management Hub to serve as a practical center for learning, demonstration and training farmers on 3 circular waste management technologies.
•BSF farming.
•Anaerobic digestion.
•Composting.

Here's a radical idea: What if we used materials that don't harm humans, wildlife, and the environment?
☣️ In 2024, an international team of scientists with #PlastChem published a report, in which they painstakingly inventoried tens of thousands of chemicals in plastics. The report revealed that there are 16,000+ chemicals in plastics (more than previously known) and at least 26% are currently classified as highly hazardous to humans and the environment.
Their research shows us just how hazardous and widespread plastic chemicals are.
☣️ More than 400 hazardous chemicals of concern were found present in each major plastic type tested, including food packaging, and all tested plastics contained hazardous chemicals that can leach into food, homes, the environment, and human bodies.
☣️ The research shows that there are 3,000 more plastic chemicals than previously known, with more than 16,000 chemicals included in the PlastChem database, which accompanies the report.
☣️ To date, information about the chemicals in plastics has been kept largely proprietary by the plastics industry. Experts had to carefully test plastics to determine which chemicals they contain.
☣️ The PlastChem project aims to address the fragmented understanding of the chemicals in plastics and their impact on health and the environment.
👏 This initiative has created a high-quality, comprehensive state-of-the-science report synthesizing the evidence about chemicals in plastics to inform an evidence-based policy development for better protecting public health and the environment.
Experts with the #PlastChem Project stress the need to find new and improved ways to regulate plastic chemicals, including hazard-based identification of groups of plastic chemicals of concern.

👩⚕️Climate change affects everyone, but at certain stages of our life we are more vulnerable to its impacts.
We need to understand & address climate-related health risks for a healthier, more resilient future.

Are you wearing plastic? 👕 The answer is likely yes. As studies continue to show that plastics are making their way into the human body, rethinking your garments is one way to reduce your exposure to plastic and its toxic chemicals. #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #FastFashion #Microplastics plasticpollutioncoalition.or…
