[Prof. Richard C Thompson OBE FRS @ProfRThompson]

Honoured to address #INC2 50+ nations, translation to 6 languages, but only 5 mins to summarise decades of science on the harm current plastics use brings & point towards upstream solutions. Key message - to avoid unintended consequences, science will be critical to guide the way

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝

The ocean benefits mental health, but how exactly?

🌊 Staring at the sea alters brain waves, inducing a meditative state.
🌊 Waves' sounds activate the parasympathetic system, promoting relaxation.
🌊 Salty air, rich in negative ions, boosts mood.
