People who grew up before throwaway plastic often say ‘it wasn’t like this in my day’. Of course not: ‘plastic rush’ hadn’t started; ‘fast food’ wasn’t a thing; corporate plastic wasn’t produced in alarming volumes. We’re swamped. Vive la reduction & circular revolution ✊
This is disgusting. 😔
The Citarum River in Indonesia is one of the dirtiest rivers in the world.
Plastic pollution has got so bad that the army have been called in to help.
Confused about recycling? Lots of useful advice here, but its clear we need simpler systems & far less plastic waste in the first place!

Over the summer, a lot of seaweed washed on shore at our local beach. Plastic at sea gets tangled in seaweed and comes with it. @kelseyoanderson & I spent a short time cleaning as best we could on 100 yards of beach. What we found was unfortunately what we have come to expect.
