š§¼ Iāve just ordered Body Wash, Shampoo and Shaving bars instead of the usual plastic bottle liquids in an effort to further reduce my #SingleUsePlastics
While this is admirable. Please keep in minds the problem with plastics will continue because its manufactured. Getting rid of plastic cups, straws and bags is so you ignore the that the grocery store, the drugstores are filled with plastic. Single use plastics is just scratching the surface of the bigger problem.

Ditch the single-use coffee cups! Borrow an OKAPI stainless steel or glass cup with a silicone lid and then return it for washing. To kick-start usage in Alameda, OKAPI is hosting a Free Coffee Day at four participating cafƩs for customers who download the app and join.

Chemical recycling is NOT "#recycling" of plastics.
#SingleUsePlastics = #PlasticWaste = #plasticpollution

The UK government does have money - millions, if necessary- and it chooses to put them in the wrong pockets. End of.

#Oceanconservancy finds that #Thailand is one of 4 #ASEAN nations + #China responsible for 50% of #ocean #plasticswaste, which can come from land sources. In early-mid 2022 Thailand passed a law banning #singleuseplastics in all of its National Parks w/fines up to $3K USD for violators. Protecting the region's #wildlife is key to #biodiversity which is key to protecting #humanhealth; but is there the will AND resources for compliance/enforcement to be taken seriously?

Itās a fine morning in the #GreatLakes to commit to change. Here are just a few ideasā¦
Attempt to get #singleuseplastics out of your life.
Support local farmers that are changing the way they grow and raise your food in order to have less fertilizer runoff, improve soil health and have fresher tasty food.
If humans ate even 10% less meat and dairy it would greatly help with greenhouse gas emissions (yah that is hard for the #cheeseheads on my west shore)
And much more!

Shell executives rather keep burying their heads in the sand than taking any responsibility for the waste they produce.
And authorities keep looking the other way. #singleUsePlastics
