Circularity fails when waste is treated as an endpoint.

It scales when waste is treated as an asset class.

90% of big fish populations depleted. 50% of coral reefs destroyed.

We are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished.

Imagine if the story were different.

@OrevaZSN Some of the most complex problems we face today stem from forgetting that we are a part of nature, and not seperate from it.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The ocean reminds us we are bound together. It shapes our climate, sustains ecosystems & economies, and feeds billions.

On World Ocean Day, let's act with ambition & resolve to build a new relationship with the ocean – grounded in science & build on shared responsibility.

@Rainmaker1973 France's approach may become an important case study for other nations considering similar reforms.

@ECOWARRIORSS The health of these ecosystems is inseparable from the health of humanity itself.

[Hamid Shehan @HamidShehan]

@PlasticPollutes Yes, the small daily changes can reduce long-term exposure.

[Plastic Pollutes @PlasticPollutes]

That plastic water bottle might not be as harmless as you think.⁠
⁠
A peer-reviewed study found 240,000 plastic particles in the average liter of bottled water. 💧 ⁠

Plastics contain 16,000 known chemicals.⁠
⁠
25% are considered hazardous. ⁠
⁠
These chemicals are increasingly linked to serious health issues. ⁠
