Over 99% of plastics being made from fossil fuels. Now 1 of every 5 barrels of oil will make plastic, in a time when urgent action to solve the #ClimateCrisis is needed.

Companies must #EndPlasticPollution

Am putting this here for @CocaCola. Their "world without waste" initiative, claims to collect and recycle a bottle for each one they sell. Let them see this.

"Why Plastic Recycling Doesn't Work" 🚫 ♻️

A great article from @CitytoSea_ exposing and explaining how the current recycling system for plastics is actually one of the major contributors to plastic pollution around the world! 🌎

Have you got two minutes to spare?⏳

That is how long it takes to sign the #OceanEmergency petition and make a positive difference.

If you are going shopping this weekend, remember to take enough reusable bags with you. In 2019, 30 million new plastic ‘bags for life’ were bought each week!

Being kinder to the planet doesn’t have to be difficult. We’ve put together #sixsimpleswaps that will reduce the amount of single use plastic you use.

Small changes can make a big difference. What swaps can you recommend?

⚠️ONLY 3 WEEKS UNTIL THE #G7Summit TAKES PLACE IN CORNWALL.

Join us on 12th June in Falmouth, for the biggest paddle-out protest of the year. It's time to remind the G7 leaders that we need drastic climate action NOW >>> https://t.co/Fx4VkmWAbs

Small changes make a big difference.

One shampoo bar can last as long as two or three bottles. Better for the planet and better for your purse.

Small changes make a big difference.

Bathrooms are full of hard to recycle, single use plastic, so opt for reusable and plastic-free whenever you can.

Untreated wastewater "routinely released into UK rivers" is creating microplastic hotspots on riverbeds.

Sewage, plastic and the rest - combined sewer overflows are aquatic smokestacks pumping out pollution.

The #coronavirus pandemic has proven that drastic policy change can successfully and quickly alter how we work as a global community.

Now, we must adopt the same level of urgency to address the climate crisis. Have your say >> https://t.co/yijDpoqT0d #OceanEmergency

You can’t put hard plastics like lipstick and mascara pots in your blue recycling bin. Take empty make up packaging to Superdrug, Maidenhead or Boots, Windsor and drop it in the Terracycle bin.

[Nirere Sadrach @SadrachNirere]

Its time we question the amount of plastics being produced and for what purposes. Rivers are now flowing with plastics instead of water. Companies must take action and responsibility to #EndPlasticPollution
