Do we need any more proof that plastic is persistent?

I've always thought that the "takes 400 years to break down" argument was a load of tosh as no plastic is 400 years old. But this is proof, if it were needed, that we need to STOP producing, using and throwing it away,

[PlasticFreeTuesday @PlasticFreeTues]

It’s #PlasticFreeTuesday! Nearly half of all plastic is single-use - used once, often for minutes, and then discarded. Today, let’s say no to single-use plastic and throwaway culture. Let’s model a better way forward. It’s time to reuse, refill, and rethink. Let’s do this. 👊🌏🌊

Happy #EarthDay2021, everyone 💐

One of the biggest misconceptions around plastic activism is that it's a narrow issue when, really, it actually touches more environmental problems than most.

See why becoming a #PlasticActivist is so vital for this beautiful planet! 🗺

[PlasticFreeTuesday @PlasticFreeTues]

On #EarthDay , let’s rethink the way we consume.

🌱 use what you have
🌍 choose reusable over disposable
🌱 seek secondhand before new
🌏 borrow rather than buying
🌱 repair instead of replacing

There’s no Planet B. Let’s honor our planet by reducing our impact. #plasticfree

[PlasticFreeTuesday @PlasticFreeTues]

It’s #PlasticFreeTuesday! Let’s say no to single-use plastic all day long by refusing what we don’t need, choosing reusable alternatives for what we do need, and finding creative solutions: repurposing, using what we already own, repairing, and sharing. Who’s in? 💪🌍🌊

[A Plastic Planet @aplastic_planet]

Microplastic #pollution is now “spiralling around the globe”, according to a study of airborne #plastic particles. The researchers said human pollution has led to a global plastic cycle with plastic moving through the atmosphere, oceans and land. https://t.co/OQvemysBFV

[Project Seagrass @ProjectSeagrass]

In the UK, we have lost >90% of our seagrass. Alongside poor water quality, seagrass habitats are threatened by coastal development and poor land use, including disturbance from marine activities.

Demand that the UK government take action👇
