The next European Union Elections are scheduled to take place between 6 and 9 June 2024. EU citizens will turn to the ballot boxes to decide which Members of the European Parliament (MEP’s) will represent and advocate for the concerns of constituents at the EU level.
Europe is one of the largest producers and consumers of plastics worldwide. If we want the EU to tackle the plastics crisis, then we need a European Commision and European Parliament that is committed to delivering real solutions to protect people and the planet.
Join the #BreakFreeFromPlastic EU Elections Campaign to call for a new EU Government that prioritises the reduction of plastic production, tackles plastic pollution and gives precedence to the health and safety of people and planet.
Fantastikten trajik olana kadar plastiğin hikayesi hiç beklenmedik bir şekilde gelişiyor. Bir zamanlar kullanışlı olan şey artık gezegeni boğuyor. Her yıl milyonlarca ton plastik atık, Dünya`daki yaşamı besleyen ekosistemleri istila ediyor. Ancak bu hikayenin sonu değil. Farklı bir son mümkün: Gereksiz plastik ürünleri keserek ve ürünleri kolayca yeniden kullanılabilecek, onarılabilecek, yeniden değerlendirilebilecek ve geri dönüştürülebilecek şekilde yeniden tasarlamakla başlar. Plastik olmayan alternatiflere geçiş. Çevreye duyarlı atık yönetim sistemlerinin güçlendirilmesi. #BeatPlasticPollution için harekete geçme ve yenilik yapma zamanı. Dünya bir #PlasticsTreaty üzerinde çalışırken, daha fazlasını öğrenmek ve katılmak için bio`daki bağlantıya gidin♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️
unep From fantastic to tragic—plastic’s story is unfolding in a way never anticipated.
What was once convenient, is now choking the planet. Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste invade the ecosystems that nurture life on Earth.
This isn’t the end of the story, though. A different ending is possible: it starts with cutting out unnecessary plastic products and redesigning products so that they can be easily reused, repaired, repurposed and recycled. Switching to non-plastic alternatives. Strengthening environmentally sound waste management systems.
It’s time to act and innovate to #BeatPlasticPollution.

On April 13th 2024 EARTHCARE was talking Plastics: Why the Planet needs a Plastics Treaty. More than 1 million plastic bottles are sold every minute around the world. 5 trillion plastic bags will be used this year. We need to keep plastics out of the environment because once there they do not biodegrade. I am holding a mylar plastic balloon, ironically "Patrick" the starfish from SpongeBob, found on one of our beaches. As it becomes transparent it resembles jellyfish, a favourite food of turtles, marine mammals and some finfish. Once ingested plastic becomes lodged in the digestive tract eventually causing the animal to starve to death. #earthcare #earthcareecokidsrule #endplasticswaste #plasticstreaty

Despite what it says on the label, most plastic is too dangerous or difficult to recycle. But it doesn’t have to be.
At #INC4 governments must support global rules to ensure all plastic is safe and easy to recycle.
Call on them to take action at BanIt.org

Our recent #beachcleanup at Pirates Beach was EPIC! We banded together and collected over 300kgs of #plasticwaste, and here`s why it`s a HUGE deal:
The Impact 🐠🌊
Our #oceans are drowning in #plastic, and it`s not a vibe. By cleaning up Pirates Beach, we`re making a real difference in protecting #marinelife and preserving our beautiful coastlines.
Raising Awareness 📢
Our clean-up isn`t just about picking up trash - it`s about shouting loud and proud that we won`t stand for #plasticpollution! #NoMorePlastic
Why It Matters 🌟
This isn`t just a one-time thing, it`s a movement. Every piece of #plastic we remove is a step towards a cleaner, healthier planet for us and future generations.
Join Us! 🤝
Let`s keep the momentum going! Get involved in our next #cleanup, at #shellybeach. spread the word! Tag your eco-warrior squad and let`s do this! INNIT!

Every stage of plastics life cycle is a health threat to humans.
Communities are exposed to pollutants during oil extraction.
Workers inhale toxic gasses during manufacturing.
Consumers ingest and absorb plastics toxins!
A 75% reduction in production is Needed

It’s simple to make a huge difference in the reduction of single use plastic from supermarkets. Our patented systems can dispense the thickest of products anything from cooking oils to ketchup etc. The manufacturers of these products could generate more income also by reducing the trucking to supermarkets in the traditional plastic packaging. We continue our uphill battle! We have requested MiamiDade County assist us in getting a meeting with publix. #reuse #refillnotlandfill #plasticstreaty #plasticfree #landfill #healthylifestyle
