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.
-✊- The oceans, like our bodies, are only TEMPORARY storage places for the plastic pollution over which we have NO control.
👉 The transport cycle of #microplastics and #nanoplastics is global and infinite. One day or another, each plastic particle can return to our body, that of our children, that of our friends, which, once dead and then decomposed, will release these particles again into the environment as poisoned gifts for future generations. #SimpleAndLucid
👉 Let`s open our eyes during the #INC5 UP session for a truly effective #PlasticsTreaty against the #PlasticsPandemic!

From the 🌊Great Pacific Garbage Patch, to microplastic sampling off Colombia, the Greenpeace ships have sailed all over the 🌏 to expose the plastic crisis.
In November, world leaders will gather in Busan, Korea 🇰🇷, towards a once-in-a-generation solution — a Global #PlasticsTreaty. And we’re bringing the iconic Rainbow Warrior with us.
Stay tuned as we set sail across East Asia to demand that world leaders, including the US deliver a strong treaty that cuts plastic production.

🗣️WE 👏 WON`T 👏 RECYCLE 👏 OUR 👏 WAY 👏 OUT 👏 OF 👏 THE 👏 PLASTIC 👏 CRISIS!
Have you seen any of the recent shocking investigations exposing the failures of recycling? The truth is, only 9% of the plastic ever produced gets recycled. It’s time to turn off the plastic tap!
In just a few weeks, critical #PlasticsTreaty talks will be happening in Busan, Korea, and we`ll be there to demand real solutions. We need a strong Global Plastics Treaty that tackles the issue at the source by cutting plastic production by at least 75% by 2040 to protect people, climate and the planet.

Plastics are taking over. Recycling is not working.
Pay attention. Pay attention.

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
