Plastic doesn't disappear. It fragments. Over time, larger pieces break down into microplastics that now contaminate every ocean on Earth.| Less plastic waste today means less pollution for generations to come. #BeatPlasticPollution #PlasticFreeJuly @undp.org @unep.org @plasticpollutes.bsky.social

🚨Single-use plastics were designed to be used once and then thrown away. But there is no "away" for these items, many of which can’t be recycled and ultimately end up in our ocean. But you have the power to make a difference this #PlasticFreeJuly! Join us: bit.ly/4awhFtg

Plastikverpackungen hinterlassen Spuren 🥦 Kleine Kunststoffpartikel können auf Lebensmittel übergehen und in unseren Körper gelangen. Plastik ist oft unsichtbar, aber nicht unproblematisch. Es braucht mehr Mehrweg und weniger unnötige Plastikverpackungen. #plasticfreejuly #plastikwende

End of #PlasticFreeJuly. As announced at the start of the month, my commitment this year is to eliminate plastic clothing from my life. 100% committed to never buy synthetic again. I pulled out all acrylic/nylon layers, from underpants to fleece. Yet some I will keep, why punish myself? #lowcarbon
