We need to turn off the plastic tap and cut how much is made in the first place.

We demand that governments commit to a strong Global Plastics Treaty that will cut plastic production by at least 75% by 2040 to stay below 1.5 C and end single-use plastic.

The impact of microplastics on ocean carbon uptake

Has anyone heard of this as a potential replacement for #plastic ? Color me skeptical in the extreme, but I've only read the summary and conclusion since I'm not a chemist. I'll try to tear through in a few days, but I suspect I'll still have enough of a gap that I'll miss marketing speak.

Red flag: references to existing plastic recycling. That's just fake.
