The first week of over 180 countries coming to together in Geneva to work out a way for the world to combat plastic pollution—together—is almost over.

What are we still looking for at #INC52?

Well, we need a treaty that protects all those that live in lakes and oceans. (1/2)

This week I am in Busan for the INC-5 negotiations and youth have a lot to say about the ongoing negotiations! Help get their voice heard by sharing this article I wrote to amplify their messages! https://t.co/xnVM4oyHGx

Where do we go from here? How can we undo some of the damage that has already been wrought, and reduce the impact of what is yet to come?

We’re likely eating significantly more microplastics than we thought.

New @UofT research by @madeleinemilne finds there are almost 12 times as many microplastics in the fish we eat than previously estimated.
