@poppacornCA this is going backwards! Why move to plastic packaging over paper? It is not only worse for the environment but harder to open and carry! #plasticfree #plasticfreeUofG

The @IdeasCongress course is almost over, but that doesn’t mean I will stop thinking about single-use plastic. What I have learned in this course will stay with me for life & help me live as close to a single-use plastic free life as possible. #plasticfreeUofG #forlife

This blew my mind audit group. Everyone knows that university students drink alot of coffee. Well has anyone thought about how many coffee cups are used each year on a university campus? Ever thought about drinking coffee & not killing the planet...just a thought #plasticfreeuofg

Thank you for having us! :)

[Food Farm Talk @FoodfarmTalk]

Thank you @zoebye and @HealthyTaurus of @IdeasCongress for sharing insights on how our food habits contribute to the issue of plastic pollution at @uofg and in our communities on this week’s episode of @FoodfarmTalk on @cfru_radio. You can check this on @cfru_radio archives.

Love having reusable containers filled with a healthy breakfast. PLANET health = PERSONAL health #plasticfreeUofG

[zoebye @zoebye]

I love @RivieraPetitPot yogurt and reusable glass containers! Buy their lids and continue using your yogurt cups! #reusable #plasticfreeUofG

https://t.co/d6CmpbP2An Check out this amazing video by my ICON colleagues. Amazing work! #plasticfreeUofG

[zoebye @zoebye]

@NatGeo captured this powerful shot of the high volume of plastic waste. Stop useing plastic bottles, go reusable! #plasticfree #plasticfreeUofG

[Mayor Cam Guthrie @CamGuthrie]

This was a key plank in my platform during my re-election campaign! If the Province goes ahead with this, GREAT! But if they don’t, #Guelph needs to get it done anyways IMHO! ARTICLE: Ontario government open to ban on single-use plastics https://t.co/e7Wsv4JVQO

Spotted: Tim Hortons coffee cup and a bottle of Dasani in Lake Ontario. Why must we use these? And why are we polluting our Earth with them? #plasticfreeUofG

[Kira @HealthyTaurus]

Me: Hi excuse me may I take a picture of your cart to share on social media for educational purposes?
Man in store: *chuckles* yeah because this is what not to do right? @FarmBoy #WhatNotToDo #WhenShopping #PlasticFreeForLent #PlasticFreeUofG

As humans, how did we get to this point of mass garbage production? According to the RCO, Canadians produced 25 MILLION TONNES of waste in 2016. #waste #recycling #plasticfreeUofG

[zoebye @zoebye]

The sad truth when I forget to bring cutlery to work, I’ll have to start to keep a set here... #notplasticfree #plasticfreeuofg

[zoebye @zoebye]

Next time you get a beverage to go: think about all the amazing wildlife you are TORTURING. #plasticfree #plasticfreeUofG #straws

[zoebye @zoebye]

Plastic waste, water waste, food waste... let’s stop this! Use reusables! #PlasticfreeUofG

[zoebye @zoebye]

Baby steps in the right direction! I’ll have to start bringing my reusable cups to the beach! @HealthyTaurus #plasticfree

[Kira @HealthyTaurus]

Some resorts like @RoyaltonResorts in Dominican now use paper straws and re-usable cups! Or you can always bring your own @YETICoolers to refil 🍹🍹 #babysteps #PlasticfreeUofG

[zoebye @zoebye]

Ordered a pina colada on the beach and was disappointed to see the high use of plastics for one drink! Why couldn’t this be a reusable cup @Margaritaville #plasticfree #PlasticfreeUofG

[zoebye @zoebye]

So pleased to have participated in the amazing experience of getting published! #WomenInSTEM

[Dr Sho Jacobs 🇨🇦 @shoshanahjacobs]

Well that's a first: two papers published and one with proofs sent on the same day.

The concept of ONE HEALTH states that human health is related to the health of animals and the health of the environment. For your health, treat the planet well. Stop using single use plastics! #OneHealth #plasticfreeUofG #systemsthinking

[zoebye @zoebye]

Limiting food waste and limiting our plastic use can go hand in hand. Buying bulk allows you to only take what you need and fill up containers! #PlasticfreeUofG #buybulk
