@earthgives.bsky.social@HollyAlpine and @anneregan1 will guide us through insights and actionable ideas on #pollution of all kinds, including what is generated from #DataCenters and #emissions that #AI will enable that most haven't even considered.
@thrivesustainably.bsky.socialEstimates for how much microplastic rivers dump into the ocean ranged from 6,100 to 2.31 million tons a year. A new model says 263,000 tons in 2022, and one heavy storm can flush out a sudden surge of it

@thrivesustainably.bsky.socialNearly two million pieces of plastic trash, collected by 200,000 volunteers across 84 countries, sorted by brand. Fifty six companies accounted for over half of everything that still had a label. Coca-Cola alone was 11%.
@thrivesustainably.bsky.socialSwitzerland measured what falls out of the sky for a year. About 219 tons of microplastics settle on land and water annually, 78 tons of that on farmland.
@thrivesustainably.bsky.socialYeast engineered to turn PET bottles and corn stalks into 3D printed protein cookies. This is a NASA food project for submarines, disaster zones and Mars, not a plan for the bottles in your recycling bin.

@jenny-gray.bsky.socialEven the deep ocean isn't immune to #PlasticPollution! And while a toy may appear innocent, the associated problems are not. That's why @montereybayaquarium.org supports legislation and international agreements that reduce unnecessary plastic at the source. bit.ly/3V4SNUu
