And this doesn’t even include the small pieces that plastic foam notoriously breaks up into.

The #FarewellToFoamAct would, beginning in 2026, restrict #food service providers, manufacturers and retailers from selling plastic foam foodware, packing peanuts and single-use foam coolers. Let’s come together and call on #Congress to pass this imperative legislation.

Tell Amazon: Stop destroying returned and unsold products

Add your name to stand up to Amazon's absurd, destructive waste practices.

Now we know these gentle sea cows are finding plastic where they once foraged for seagrass.

Around the globe, we're dumping the equivalent of a garbage truck's worth of plastic into the ocean every single minute. All of this plastic pollution is practically unavoidable for manatees and other sea life -- and it's up to us to help them.

Nieuwe ziekte ontdekt bij zeevogels die wordt veroorzaakt door plastic - Joop - BNNVARA

Het is voor het eerst dat een ziekte wordt ontdekt die louter door plastic wordt veroorzaakt.

¿Crees de verdad que alguien se dedica a abrir cada puta capsulita para sacar el café, separar y reciclar los materiales?

¿Todo por no limpiar un@ mism@ la cazoleta de la cafetera tradicional?

Ya puestos, que inventen el WC de usar y tirar y así no tenemos que darle al flush...

¡Ay! ¡Si hubiera una forma de hacer café que no sea de cerdos decadentes...!

Cápsula de Café Sical (en venta en Portugal, propiedad de Nestlé) encontrada en playa de Cádiz.

Sin actitud. Dejemos de ser tan snobs con las putas #cápsulas #Nespresso. Errar es humano, rectificar, más.

Si estás contra las cápsulas, comparte. Si no desde el respeto, imagino que ya eras un cafetero de postín antes de que existieran. Pero contaminabas menos.

🤯🌍👌 This 2012 discovery made by students at Yale University, found that a rare species of mushroom from the Amazon rainforest is capable of subsisting on plastic alone. More precisely, Pestalotiopsis microspora consumes polyurethane, the key ingredient in plastic products, and converts it to organic matter.⠀
🍄⠀
Further, Pestalotiopsis microspora can live without oxygen, which suggests enormous potential for feeding on, and thus cleaning up, landfills.⠀

So once again, nature holds the answer. This approach to dealing with plastic overload emerges just as the EU has voted to ban all single-use plastics by 2021. However, that legislation may have more to do with industry politics than with cleaning up the planet. It does nothing to address, for example, the garbage patch twice the size of Texas that’s currently floating in the Pacific Ocean. - info from: yupthatexists.com⠀
