It's #showyourstripesday today.

Climate change is already having a devastating impact around the globe, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations and exacerbating global inequalities.

We must take action now before it's too late.

Great write-up about the #PaperlessPledge campaign today in @DailyMailUK 🙏🏼

By giving consumers the power to decide whether they want a receipt or not, we can remove billions of unwanted receipts from the waste cycle🗑

We're so thrilled to have @the_brc's support for the campaign 💚

Optional printing is an easy way for retailers to cut in-store emissions and a great compliment to the BRC's brilliant Climate Action Roadmap.

Let's make UK retail the first in the world to reach #NetZero 👣

More than 3 billion people around the world are currently affected by water shortages, but in some nations, an incredible 10% of all freshwater is diverted to make paper 😥

Paper receipts are unnecessary in today's digital age. Let's save our water for those who need it most.

[Beat the Receipt @beatthereceipt]

Did you know that it can take between 5 and 15 years for paper receipts to break down in a landfill?

That's a long legacy for a scrap of paper we look at once.

[Beat the Receipt @beatthereceipt]

The UK is failing to meet our ambitious emission-reduction targets. If we're ever going to get to #NetZero by 2050, we need to re-think every aspect of our consumption.

Receipts, we're looking at you 👀💪🏽

[Beat the Receipt @beatthereceipt]

Did you know that it's impossible to safely remove BPA and BPS from thermal paper?

By throwing receipts in the recycling bin, we're actually doing more harm than good 🤯

Reforestation is a complicated topic, but it's got really great potential to help us undo some of the damage we've caused.

But these sequestration solutions can only be effective if they're accompanied by a serious reduction in emissions and consumption in the global North 🫖

[Beat the Receipt @beatthereceipt]

Trees are one of our best defences against #GlobalWarming, but planting more isn't going to save us.

Reforestation is a long-term solution for an immediate crisis - it's not good enough.

We need to end deforestation now & keep our trees in the ground where they belong!🌳

Some companies moving away from single-use plastic packaging are simply replacing throwaway plastic with throwaway paper. That's a false solution with dire consequences. Learn more --> https://t.co/3ri0G04hMP #PlasticWaste #PaperWaste #SolvingPackaging
