Over 1 million marine organisms are killed each year due to plastic pollution in the ocean. It's time to end plastic pollution.

There is no planet B. Use less, buy less, waste less.

In March 2020, Australia held its first National Plastics Summit, bringing together more than 200 leaders and experts from government, industry and community sectors to identify and showcase new ideas and solutions.

Plastic pollution isn't just a problem in our oceans. Researchers have found that nearly 22 million pounds of plastic debris enter the Great Lakes every year. Join phade in our quest to reduce plastic waste. #phadebluestraws #blueisthenewgreen #plasticwaste

Irrigated agriculture uses about 60% of the water available for human use. Irrigated crops make up about 30% of Australia’s agricultural production value. Drought and bushfires have had a dramatic effect on Australia’s irrigated agriculture.

Agricultural water withdrawal way beyond the limit of #renewable freshwater resources is most common today in countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

[Peter D Carter @PCarterClimate]

TELL GOVERNMENTS TO PREPARE FOR 1.5°C 2030
We WILL be fixed at globally disastrous 1.5°C from 2030 (at least) Governments must be told to prepare for it NOW. 2°C by 2050- they must Stop planet killing fossil fuel subsidies NOW

Today, just one percent of the planet falls within so-called “barely liveable” hot zones: by 2050, the ratio could rise to almost twenty percent.

#ClimateChange 🌡️ is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions 🏭

Warming rate of last 15 years is 40% faster than before 1970s

2023 will be warmest year on record 🥵

#globalwarming is 10 times faster than past natural warnings.

And it is accelerating 🔥♨️🚩

One of the problems with electronic waste in Australia is the lack of public awareness and easy access to electronic waste recycling centers. 53% of Australians are unaware of electronic waste collection centers.

@ilo @IRENA It's truly inspiring to see such progress in the renewable sector. The job growth over the past decade shows the collective efforts we're making. Grateful for the work of everyone involved, paving the way for a greener future🙏 #GreenJobs

"It's alarming to see the gap between our goals and reality. Each year we delay serious action, we risk irreversible damage. The urgency to rethink and restructure our global strategies has never been clearer. 🌎 #ClimateEmergency #TimeIsNow"

[Glen Peters @Peters_Glen]

Global fossil CO₂ emissions need to decline >5%/year. This is just not happening.

Each year that emissions keep rising makes it even harder to reach the Paris targets & locks the world into even more climate impacts.

Eye-opening to think that nearly 1 in 6 bites we take ends up as waste! 🤯 But, there's a silver lining: reducing #FoodWaste not only helps our wallets, but also the planet🌎 and its precious resources.Let's champion the change in our kitchens and communities! #EcoFriendlyChoices

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

17% of all food available to consumers is estimated to be wasted each year, & 11% of this is attributed to household waste.
Reducing #FoodWaste can:
🍜 boost food security
🍃 protect natural resources
🌎 reduce GHG emissions
💰 save money
📷& much more!
