It's the 11th hour of #Cop27 & fossil fuels are 🔥🔥.

The US just repeated support for a phaseout of ALL unabated fossil fuels. They join Australia, EU, India.

Colombia, Tuvalu & AILAC want the unqualified phaseout of all fossil fuels.

It's #PeopleVsFossilFuels. Ppl are up.

The invention and use of plastic packaging to facilitate human life is great and not wrong in itself. It is the unsustainable use and how safe we can keep the environment from it that raises issues. @ELAWUS @nchunujs @BennyNgalim @anyangwe4 @FEDEVLAW1

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Unless we change course, the amount of plastic in our ocean could double by 2030.

We must break the habit of single-use plastics & accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

Forests are vital for the well-being of people and our planet.

Earth's forests:
