Why not simply refuse to drink out of #plastics in the first place? Even BPA-free plastics will still cause health problems

[Plastic Soup Foundation @plasticsoupfoun]

Many BPA-Free #Plastics Are Toxic.
More than 50 different chemicals are now pumped into consumer products in place of BPA. These BPA-free alternatives can be as bad as — or worse than — the original. Read more: https://t.co/A0TkhqA6QR

#Plastic never really disappears. It does not only pollute our oceans but also our own backyards!

[Ibrahim Thiaw @ibrahimthiaw]

Tiny plastic particles is a threat to creatures on #land and may have similar damaging effects in our oceans. #Plastics may have countless irreplaceable uses, but we also need to improve the way we manage our plastic waste to protect the environment. #PlasticFreeJuly

Can #Microplastics be seen as a crisis? This global harmful phenomenon goes together with #pollution pollution, long-term health problems and awful views of once pristine nature covered in plastic litter.

[APlasticOceanFoundation @AplasticoceanF]

Pretty shocking news.
Have we managed to contaminate every single food item we ingest because of our addiction to #plastics ?

8 million tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans every year. How do we cut this down? Do we need a giant push from society or do you think governments should take action?
Let us know your thoughts!

Out of sight should not be out of mind!
Your single use plastic items end up affecting wildlife like this bear who was lucky saved by this great family!

Make sure you think before you buy ;)

On #WorldEnvironmentDay we reflect on and wonder what it will take to actively make a change to our habits. By 2050, plastics in the oceans will outweigh fish -
@wef reports. One thing we do know for sure, if change is to happen, is that every single positive action matters.

[APlasticOceanFoundation @AplasticoceanF]

Double the amount of #microplastic particles in our oceans than previously thought, study finds.
