@brkfreeplastic We should run with ‘refill’ instead of reuse—wouldn’t big oil, errr I mean, big recycling say they are reuse already?

@theblackcowgirl North Carolina has the worst litter I've ever seen! I carry bags on walks now and try to get what I can, but I wish they'd do anti-littering campaigns here - it makes our area look awful!

In the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations, some plastic-producing countries refuse to see the full plastics' life cycle 🙈 Let's remind them: From extraction 🛢️& production 🏭 to dumping 🗑️& burning🔥, it's ALL OF IT 👇 #BreakFreeFromPlastic #BeatPlasticPollution

More proof EMF @circulareconomy = greenwashing hoax

Plastic is not safe or economic to recycle. Much of the 28% Ireland claims to recycle is actually plastic waste exports shipped to poor countries & burned

EU must BAN PLASTIC WASTE EXPORTS

@recyCaulin Exactly. People have been litter picking for 50 years and there’s more trash on the streets as ever.

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

A recent report found that of all the plastic waste that ends up on our shorelines, just five items account for the majority of this trash: cigarette butts, food wrappers, beverage bottles, plastic bags, and bottle caps.

30 million lbs picked since 2017? That’s .03% of the waste dumped into the ocean during that time. We can’t pick our way out of a plastic crisis 🥤🏴‍☠️ https://t.co/Yyr5SCKEdo

@TJRPitt Depends where your ‘recycling’ goes 🔥🔥🔥

[Benard Ogembo @benogeh]

No amount of recycling schemes & ocean clean-ups are going to totally remove the #mark of plastic mess we have created. Plastics are a #scar that will hopefully warn future generations of the folly of unsustainable over-consumption. #RethinkPlastics #plasticwaste #globaltreaty

[#BreakFreeFromPlastic @brkfreeplastic]

The time to ACT is NOW. Let's push EU governments to support the plastic waste export ban.
