⚠️ Fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have flooded #PlasticsTreaty talks at a record high. They're working with petrostates to distract, delay, and drag the treaty toward the lowest common denominator.

The EU has voted to ban forever chemicals - PFAS - in firefighting foam.

PFAS-free foams are already available and in use so to keep using ones with PFAS is unnecessary.

But PFAS are everywhere - not just in firefighting foam. Now we need a full ban on all uses.

💐 Thinking of buying a bouquet for Valentine’s Day? While celebrating love is beautiful, it is worth considering what is in flowers. Stores are filled with vibrant spring and summer blooms - mostly loaded with #pesticides.

A year ago today, the @EU_Commission scrapped the 🇪🇺 pesticide law, leaving the door open to severe children's rights violations. The EU must act now to protect children and lead the way towards toxic-free food systems.

BPA—the forever chemical. Phthalates—the everywhere chemical. These are some of 16,000+ plastic chemicals. Many are endocrine disruptors—harming hormone health and causing serious health conditions. Read the science from @TheEndoSociety and IPEN.

🚨Breaking news!

💶100 billion a year would be the cost to eliminate #PFAS from the environment in Europe

This is the cost of inaction!

Instead of leaving the #foreverchemicals industry tap open, the solution is to #BanPFAS

[Child Rights International Network - CRIN @CRINwire]

PFAS are a threat to children's rights, health, and environment. An ambitious restriction of these forever pollutants is urgently needed - but industry lobbying is trying to hijack this pivotal process 🚩

Jean-Marie le Pen, historical leader of the French far-right, is dead.

My thoughts go to the Algerian people he tortured, to the victims of the Shoah he denied the existence of, to all the targets of the far-right.

His ideas are still well alive.

And together, we can beat them
