@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.

Short studies won't cut it.

@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

@abilutangwa.bsky.socialYour plastic bottle will outlive your grandchildren. It takes 450 YEARS to decompose.
Refuse. Reuse. Refill. It's that simple.

@electrichippie.bsky.social🌊♻️ SUSTAINABILITY TIP:
Skip the bottled water when you can.
A reusable bottle means fewer single-use plastic bottles that can eventually make their way into waterways and the ocean.
Small switch. Less waste. Better blue energy. 💙⚡️

I'm aware of how many dessicant packets I discard on a weekly basis nowadays.
I discard four or five each week.
Dry goods, supplements and other packaged products.
There is food safe clay available.
@maybemuneeb.bsky.socialPlastic pollution is not just an environmental problem—it’s an economic one.
Governments and communities spend billions managing plastic waste, while pollution can damage fisheries, tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, and public health.
