Fun fact: Most plastic utensils from takeout go straight from the bag to the trash. New Jersey just changed that.

The state passed the strongest Skip the Stuff law in the U.S. – utensils and condiments are now only provided when requested. Less waste, more choice. 🎉 @GovMurphy

What do you think actually causes plastic pollution?

[Just Zero @JustZeroOrg]

And you should stop making so much plastic.

Once upon a time, Coca-Cola set the standard for refillable glass bottles. But today, they’re the top corporate plastic polluter in the world according to Brand Audit reports.

Send this to @CocaCola to urge them to Bring Back Refill.

The largest incinerator in the whole country is just outside of Philadelphia in Chester PA. Children in Chester have asthma rates 5X the national average and Philadelphia is one of the top #AsthmaCapitals in the country. Protect the health of our kids NOW. https://t.co/UINzlRX6bK

What happens to our trash isn’t accidental – it’s how the current system is designed. #WasteIsPolitical

[Just Zero @JustZeroOrg]

Our trash should NOT be mixing with nature. PERIOD. If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, etc., then it needs to be redesigned or removed from production!

🚨 Many compost, soil, & "fertilizer" products sold by @HomeDepot, @Lowes, and @Walmart are made with sewage sludge—which contains PFAS, heavy metals, and microplastics. These toxics put public health at risk. 👉 Tell big box stores to stop selling them. https://t.co/7OvlL5o8Vl

Just Zero’s Executive Director, @KirstiePecci, and Senior Scientist, Laura Orlando @LFO, dive deep into what you need to know about #PFAS—one of the most persistent and dangerous chemicals affecting our environment and health.💧It's time PFAS are regulated OUT of our lives. @EPA

Food waste is the largest material in landfills—and a major driver of climate pollution. 🗑️🌍 When it rots, it releases methane—80x more potent than CO2. Composting stops that pollution and helps soil store carbon. If you can, compost! https://t.co/tnN0PhZVfT

What’s your favorite quote from The Grinch? 🤔 There are so many good ones—it’s hard to choose! 😄🎁 #grinch

[Just Zero @JustZeroOrg]

Chemical recycling facilities only lead to dangerous, toxic, and climate-damaging effects. It DOES NOT help us or the planet. We need real solutions, not a toxic cycle! ☠️

“These half-baked ’silver bullets’ don't belong anywhere.”
- @kevin_budris, Just Zero Deputy Director

[Just Zero @JustZeroOrg]

Landfills and incinerators have long been seen as the only “real” solutions—but that outdated thinking ignores the real issue and the real solutions. It’s time to ditch false solutions and tackle waste where it starts! 💪 https://t.co/Cr5GGRCIEc

[Just Zero @JustZeroOrg]

Hot Take: Most recycling logos are marketing, not reality. That little triangle is permission to buy more stuff, not a guarantee anything gets recycled.

There is an amazing technology that literally sucks CO2 out of the air, costs very little, and builds itself......

It's called a tree.
