They've discovered microplastics in bees' guts. Yes. The bees. Killed by pesticides. And habitat annihilation. And abrupt, unstoppable climate chaos. But wait! The mighty Economy will survive this unfortunate setback. We will accelerate our growth policies! Unleash innovation!!

Did you know that pythons can remain conscious even when they're inflated with air and have their skin removed for "exotic" leather products like shoes and purses?

It's NOT fashionable to wear someone's skin! 😱

If we sound like a broken record, that's because the record keeps breaking! 📣

August 2024 was the hottest August on record and the 15th month in a row of record-breaking monthly global temperatures.🌡️ 🌡️ 🌡️

Living near industrial wood pellet plants means breathing in wood dust and toxic air pollution and listening to loud banging 24/7. This industry must be held accountable and should not be permitted to expand to the west coast. https://t.co/XgG9ovMPNH

Put a stop to plastic polluters. People shouldn't have to bear the responsibility for the environmental degradation caused by companies.

But despite these hurdles, we will prevail for the people and the planet! 🌏

Add your voice to the growing demand for corporations to ditch single-use plastics 👉🏾 https://t.co/nvp9Uz28Jz

Maging isang kaibigan ng kalikasan with these children's books!📚💚

Children's books are more than just tales; they can be powerful tools for raising awareness about social and environmental issues. #ClimateJusticeNow #PlasticFreeFuture

[Marian Ledesma #PlasticsTreaty @marian16rox]

Hold big polluters accountable. Make policies that will cut plastic production, ban single-use plastic & require companies to shift from plastic to reuse.

Don't let them get away with the harms to people and the environment.

Strong #PlasticsTreaty now.

#Beatplasticpollution

[Greenpeace Philippines @gpph]

We definitely do NOT like their answer, especially if they're only answering to profit! 💸

Help us urge corporations to stop producing harmful, impossible-to-recycle plastic sachets. ✊🏽

NO PETS LEFT BEHIND.

With the persistent rains and rising floods from #EntengPH, we urge all pet owners to take every possible precaution to protect their pets during these challenging times. In times of crisis, their survival is entirely in your hands.

[Marian Ledesma #PlasticsTreaty @marian16rox]

A strong #PlasticsTreaty needs to reduce #plastic production + enable a just transition to a reuse & refill economy.

Hope the Philippines maintains its position on production cuts, and supports the transition to reuse & refill. @DENROfficial

@gpph #Beatplasticpollution

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

It's time world leaders fight back against big oil and the chemical industry to ensure they cut plastic production and invest in a reuse/refill economy.

Together, we can win a strong #plasticstreaty! 🥇🌏

Maraming salamat Sen Risa! Kung di nyo inungkat ang mga POGO malamang di pa siya na-ban. Dapat may kasabay ang ban-- pagpapanagot sa mga salarin AT mga government officials na kakonchave at kumita sa kanila.

[Marian Ledesma #PlasticsTreaty @marian16rox]

#SONA2024 revealed plans for healthcare facilities, but the gov’t is allowing waste-to-energy & co-processing with toxic pollutants & carbon emissions to proliferate in the PH. Waste-burning releases carcinogens. Stop false solutions. Prevention is the best medicine, diba?

Unveil the secret to ✨ 'REAL BEAUTY' ✨

Join Dove & Unilever in their profit-loving campaign to beautify the world with sachets! Billions of plastic sachets that cause REAL HARM to our health, communities, and nature. Because nothing says ‘REAL CARE’ like plastic pollution. 🤫

[Joshua #EnvironmentalJusticeNOW @j___villalobos]

PBBM also talked about solar-powered irrigation.

It’s one thing to have equipment powered by RE, but the country needs a transformative shift in overall power generation. #ClimateJusticeNow #SONA2024 @bongbongmarcos

[Marian Ledesma #PlasticsTreaty @marian16rox]

The PH should also have plastic production reduction targets in the country's EPR framework, and mandate reuse and refill systems targets for companies. #SONA2024 #SONAgbagoBa #PlasticFreeFuture

[Marian Ledesma #PlasticsTreaty @marian16rox]

BBM recognized the waste collection efforts of brgys, but we can’t expect our communities to keep cleaning up after corporations producing single-use plastics & other disposables. The gov’t should prioritize waste reduction, not cleanups. #SONA2024 #SONAgbagoBa #PlasticFreeFuture

[Marian Ledesma #PlasticsTreaty @marian16rox]

Bans on single-use plastics can drastically lessen the amount of waste burdening communities. Aside from a national ban, the gov’t must issue a list of non-environmentally acceptable products that includes sachets, which make up 52% of the PH' residual plastic waste.
#SONA2024

[Joshua #EnvironmentalJusticeNOW @j___villalobos]

While PBBM boasts of big-ticket energy projects to achieve energy security, I am watching his SONA while in a power outage in Bcd,Neg Occ. The power was out twice since yesterday. 🤦

We need a transformative and just energy transition!
