👋Hi #INC4 Luis Vayas Valdivieso Inger Andersen António Guterres from the year 1974 — when feral plastic pellets (AKA nurdles) fished from the sea were first featured on the cover of Science Magazine!

Ten years ago today the US State of Michigan switched the city of Flint from their clean water source to the Flint river. It led to residents being exposed to high levels of lead. My film 'Thirst For Justice' follows residents struggle for clean water. vimeo.com/ondemand/thirs…

As with most things, it's all about making money, greed.

Why are our children treated as disposable?

'our research tells us that symptoms probably won't show up for years to come maybe even decades'

'until the public catches on to the risks there is a ton of money to be made'…

Hi @ismawati1764 ... this is exactly what you said ... so many plastic lobbyists.

That's the big problem... greed above the future of our Earth.

Hope you're okay... speak soon.

Why is even ONE there? We need to ban single use plastic now, why are polluters given influence?
Pro-plastic lobbyists at UN pollution talks increase by 1/3. Fossil fuel & petrochemical campaigners at Ottawa summit outnumber scientists, & EU delegates theguardian.com/environment/20…

3G Pitches: Is the UK sleepwalking into a public health crisis?

YES...

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.

And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.

It's hard not to see the lie.

RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

If, like me, you hate rubber crumb (infill in 3G football pitches), you'll find this really interesting.

‘Huge disappointment’ as UK delays bottle deposit plan and excludes glass.

We live in an age where government commitments are becoming meaningless. Widely distant delivery dates, delays & easy u-turns make policymakers unaccountable. theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is brilliant and really worth watching ... less than five minutes.

Sunak & the billionaire-owned media are lying: Britain does NOT have a “sick note culture”.

On average, UK workers take fewer days off sick each year than in almost any advanced economy, & the number of GP fit notes issued was no higher at the end of 2023 than in 2019.

'We assessed the spatial coverage of the 1576 (1494 after excluding unbranded items) audit events totaling 1,873,634 (909,771 after excluding unbranded items) documented plastic items to see if they were sufficient for a global analysis (Figs. 1 and 2). Three countries…

Excited to share our released manuscript in Science Advances. We show that #PlasticPollution is tightly linked to #PlasticProduction , there is literally a 1 to 1 relationship between them! Plastic production reduction is key, especially for single use.

Important piece of science for #INC4 because some still claim there is no link between plastic production and #plasticpollution . This is and absurd claim, so good to have this evidence!

'You don’t need to own land to care for it & don’t need permission to act on nature’s behalf.'

Last night I joined a group of nature guardians & advocates to launch our book ‘Wild Service’ into the world, in a ceremony of poetry, song & oratory for a new relationship with nature
