But nothing is recycled by itself
To make plastic recyclable, only a label is needed
For something to be recycled, ir requires a lot of action

Safety first.
Coaches, student athletes, parents,
Do a basic field evaluation before your team steps onto that synthetic field.
Alert facility owner of signs of neglected maintenance or other unsafe conditions.

Fellow comrades, when we talk about " just transition", we are not only talking about phasing out fossils fuel and marking in a cameo of clean energy. We are talking about leaving No One Behind, more so the marginalized communities! #ClimateActionNow#EndFossilFuel@WilliamsRuto

Meet John Chweya,the leader of Kenya’s 36,000-strong Waste Pickers Association, that @CEJADKenya

PFOA, PFOS, PFNA are on CA Prop 65 list & have all been found in artificial turf along with many other PFAS. Over 90% of sports fields still have tire crumb infill.
Yet the AT industry remains unregulated even though their products are sold to schools & towns for children’s use.
