I know I posted this over on IG, but the people it needs to reach are mainly over there. If you are on IG please like it to help it reach more.

I just visited Hautacamp and a "Skoda We Love Cycling" plastic sticker on the road is still there and breaking up and bits of it is spread all over this beautiful Pyrenees mountain.

I hope that we can get them to come and clean up what's left and hopefully they will in the future not leave litter like that around.

"Observers say this trend is part of a larger crisis. Nigeria has become a major destination for the developed world’s discarded electronics – items often near the end of life, sometimes completely dead, and frequently toxic because they contain hazardous materials. When they break down, they add to landfills, worsening an already dire e-waste crisis on the African continent.

Around 60,000 tonnes of used electronics enter Nigeria through key ports each year, with at least 15,700 tonnes already damaged upon arrival, according to the United Nations."

Test of 31 #Shein items found 25 (81%) exceeded #EU REACH limits.

High levels of #phthalates (in 18/22 items, up to 70× limit), #PFAS (9/11 items, up to 3,115×), and #HeavyMetals (cadmium up to 126 mg/kg, lead up to 2,110 mg/kg).

Risks: skin contact, ingestion (children), environmental contamination.

Shein says it removes flagged items; @greenpeace calls for stricter enforcement and platform liability.
