The #BonnClimateConference failed once again to address the key drivers of the #ClimateCrisis [= #FossilFuels]. Delay is the new Denialism.
A 🧵on the #FalseSolutions increasingly being pushed in the @UNFCCC negotiations: #CCS #CDR & #geoengineering are dangerous distractions!

Science is crystal clear, the only way to meaningfully reduce emissions is a rapid, equitable, full & funded phase-out of ALL fossil fuels. In this essential #JustTransition, there's is NO space for dangerous distractions such as #CCS or #CarbonRemoval.

Di tengah ancaman pencemaran plastik, negara-negara pada akhirnya menyepakati untuk menyusun suatu perjanjian internasional untuk mengakhiri pencemaran plastik yang mengatur secara komprehensif keseluruhan daur hidup plastik dalam forum UNEA 5.2.
Di tengah ancaman pencemaran plastik, negara-negara pada akhirnya menyepakati untuk menyusun suatu perjanjian internasional untuk mengakhiri pencemaran plastik yang mengatur secara komprehensif keseluruhan daur hidup plastik dalam forum UNEA 5.2.
Rencananya proses negosiasi dari perjanjian ini akan mulai dilaksanakan pada tahun 2023. Indonesia perlu untuk mengambil peran strategis dalam proses negosiasi perjanjian internasional untuk mengakhiri pencemaran plastik ini.
Oleh karena itu, @AZWIndonesia bersama dengan ICEL mengeluarkan enam rekomendasi bagi Pemerintah Indonesia dalam proses negosiasi Global Plastic Treaty, apa saja rekomendasi tersebut?

🆕 @VUamsterdam' s study found that nearly 80% of the meat & dairy products from farm animals tested by scientists contain #Microplastics.
🤯 Where does that plastic come from? Most likely it originates from livestock feed.

2/4 - The presence of #Plastics in livestock could originate from the intentionally added #Microplastics in pesticides and fertilizers used to grow animal feed.

3/4 - In March, VUA researchers reported #Microplastics in human blood for the first time.
The discovery of the particles in blood shows they are ubiquitous in our environment, food, and bodies.

Three years ago, we joined partners around the world in releasing a landmark report that examined the impact of the full life cycle of plastic on health.

From extraction to refining, use to waste management, plastics pose a serious health whether people experience them through direct or environmental exposure.
Since then, the needle has only moved.
Here's just some of the developments:

Here's just some of the developments:
In 2019, scientists announced that the average person eats *at least* 50,000 particles of microplastic a year and breathes in a similar quantity. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@PierreCondamine @msaraswati @FokusNexus3 @Europarl_EN @EU_ENV @RethinkPlastic @brkfreeplastic @CLEAR_Lab_ All systems produce #waste - but how can we "waste well"?
Even with proximity principles in place, waste get side to the populations with the lowest incomes and from whose the biggest efforts are required - food for thought from our speaker @MaxLiboiron.

“Waste exports means creating further impacts on 'sacrifice zones' and communities which are already vulnerable; it is a presumed entitlement.” – @MaxLiboiron
BREAKING NEWS on @recyclesday: After @WasteCounter filed a lawsuit on unlawful and deceptive recycling claims, @TerraCycle + 8 Companies (incl. @CocaCola & @ProcterGamble) have settled and agreed to change their product labels! #breakfreefromplastic (1/5) wsj.com/articles/terra…
Curious why this lawsuit matters? The settlement w/ @TerraCycle, @latejulyorganic, @LOrealUSA, @TomsofMaine and other Consumer Brand Companies represents real progress on truth-in-labeling & verification of recycling claims. Recycle-by-mail schemes are #greenwashing! (2/5)
Thanks to the lawsuit filed by #breakfreefromplastic changemaker Jan Dell with The Last Beach Cleanup, @TerraCycle has also agreed to implement a supply chain certification program. A new documentary further reveals why we must expose these misdeeds! (3/5) packaginginsights.com/news/the-circu…
#Plastics' impact on the environment is well known, but what about their impact on human #Health?

“The toxic threat of plastics is not only a human health issue, it's a #HumanRights issue.” — @mariawesterbos, @plasticsoupfoun's Director.

The first session of the #PlasticHealthSummit draws the spotlight on the interconnection between environmental & human health.
Scientists are sharing their latest findings on plastics & blood, fetal development, & hormone-related disorders related to plastic.

NEW report by @SRtoxics makes clear: Plastics pose a threat to #HumanRights throughout their whole life cycle.
A human rights-based approach to #PlasticsPolicy is urgently needed to #BreakFreeFromPlastic & uphold #EnvironmentalJustice.

"It's urgent to address the interface of plastics & #HumanRights. The gaps & shortcomings in the area are posing a truly global threat. A rights-based approach to the plastics lifecycle can help prevent & redress human rights infringements." — @SRtoxics.

Indeed, from extraction to production, through transport, use, and disposal, plastics are impacting at least 10 of the most fundamental human rights.

Dans l’émission @LastWeekTonight sur HBO, @iamjohnoliver a présenté un sujet sur le plastique, ses déchets et son recyclage. Voici mon analyse de cette vidéo #THREAD ⤵️
On le sent l’objectif est de présenter le sujet de manière pédagogique et accessible au plus grand nombre. Il y a donc beaucoup de raccourcis et de clichés, ce qui est assez courant sur ce sujet. Avec un ton humoristique qui permet un passage à une heure de grande écoute
Les chiffres présentés dans cette vidéo sont tous vrais, justes et sourcés ! Mais ils manquent parfois de contexte. C’est un peu le problème de cet exercice ou les autres matériaux et surtout l’ensemble du cycle de vie du produit sont peu évoqués.
This Wednesday is another #IZWCC2021 day as @PPLH_Bali takes us to Denpasar 🇮🇩 to see how households are making a HUGE impact in diverting waste from landfills and keeping incinerators out! Link to video: #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [1/7]
“Take the easiest steps that won’t create future disasters.”
- Dr. Ir. Ni Luh Kartini, Udayana University
Zero Waste system in Denpasar is the sustainable solution rather than costly and harmful incineration that would just create new problems. #BurnNot #IZWCC2021 [2/7]

In Denpasar, managing household waste can help ensure organic discards, which comprise 70% of waste, aren't buried in landfills. This will help the government focus on the remaining 30% - inorganic & residual waste - through waste reduction programs & policies. #IZWCC2021 [3/7]
Hi it’s Julie! It’s a wonderful Monday and we have another video for #IZWCC2021 this time from @ecotonID Sharing the Burden: Collaboration Towards Gresik Zero Waste Cities. Link to video: #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [1/9]
Like many cities in Indonesia, Gresik City has only enough resources to provide adequate management services to less than 50% of the population. #IZWCC2021 [2/9]
Gresik is a coastal city in East Java, Indonesia, located downstream between Brantas River and Bengawan Solo River. Many end up relying on informal waste collection and indiscriminate dumping to rid of household waste. #IZWCC2021 [3/9]
Hi! Archie here from @GAIAnoburn for #IZWCC2021 to deliver inspiring quotes from Mark Lloyd Mesina of Malabon City on their Zero Waste Cities implementation in partnership with @motherearthph. Link to YT video: #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [1/9]
Malabon is a highly-urbanized city that’s prone to floods due to its flat terrain & proximity to heavily-silted river systems. The city has invested in drainage systems & pumping stations but waste clogging these facilities have negated flood mitigation efforts. #IZWCC2021 [2/9]
Malabon started its #ZeroWasteCities program 6 years ago in Potrero, the most populous barangay with 54,000 residents. The city has since expanded the program to all 27 barangays. #IZWCC2021 [3/9]
