Impassioned plea by Panama alongside all high ambition countries at the global plastic treaty negotiations in Busan. We can’t be dragged down by those with low ambition. Treaty must reduce plastic production & address chemicals of concern. Its not a waste a management treaty

One of the leading sources of EU #PlasticPollution: 🚗 tyres

Currently, particles shed by tyres are unregulated. We can make a U-turn on tyre pollution, but it will require more ambitious legislation to limit these harmful emissions. https://t.co/HIUI7u0Imn

« Nous devons finir le travail » a répété @vonderleyen dans son discours sur l’Etat de l’union devant le Parlement européen.
De fait, beaucoup a été fait pendant ce mandat pour décliner les ambitions du Pacte vert, mais j’attends encore le texte sur les micro plastiques 😉…

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

This could turn out to be one of the most deadly issues of all. And hardly anyone knows.
My column about the mass contamination of our farmland with a horrifying cocktail of untested chemicals.
And in some cases, it's deliberate ....

Microplastics may be tiny—some are only visible under a microscope—but they play a large role in contributing to ocean plastic pollution.

👏 Just in: Earth’s most remote inhabited island chain, Tristan da Cunha, announced full protections for more than 90% of its waters. 👏

This brings the world one step closer to the goal of protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030. @Bertarelli_fdn https://t.co/JxYARfJ6XE

The US has 4% of the world’s population, yet produces 17% of its plastic waste.

"Global action is urgently needed to reduce plastic consumption, increase reuse, waste collection and recycling,” notes #BreakingThePlasticWave author @Winnie_WYLau. https://t.co/4qya36LrWO

[Laura Margison @LauraMargison]

It's time to move beyond commitments, and instead focus on action. Here's 3 suggestions:

➡️ Reach an agreement @WTO to end harmful fisheries subsidies
➡️ Support proposals @CCAMLR to protect the Antarctic
➡️ Secure a High Seas Treaty @UN

Just released: Unprecedented marine plastics report—shows we can reduce 80% of the annual flow of plastic into the ocean in the next 20 years. https://t.co/uiVXdjZgY7

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

The amount of plastic entering the ocean increases annually—but so has the number of policies to address it.

New research provides helpful insights as governments weigh how to move forward. - @NichInstitute
