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.
It’s still Plastic Free July, yall! Here’s a photo from our previous OP.
While this was a fun activity, I hope we won’t need to do it again in the future T_T. Plastic pollution is a massive systemic issue that requires a holistic approach.
The recent severe flooding in Metro Manila due to Typhoon #CarinaPH highlights that our environmental issues are worsening. This is a complex and profound problem that cannot be viewed from just one perspective.
It’s alarming that the Philippines contributes less than 0.4% of global carbon emissions, yet we are suffering significant impacts from the climate crisis. It’s even more concerning that our President blames the people affected by these impacts for improper waste disposal instead of addressing the root cause of plastic pollution—the sachet economy.
While it’s true that some people lack discipline regarding waste disposal, the issue is systemic and needs to be addressed holistically. Our waste management problems are extensive as learned in our recent Basic Mass Integration (BMI) here in Cebu, we don’t even have enough materials recovery facilities (MRFs)!
We must rally together and call on our leaders to heed our calls.
HOLD CLIMATE POLLUTERS ACCOUNTABLE ‼️
END THE SACHET ECONOMY ‼️
PHASEOUT FOSSIL FUELS NOW ‼️

Dear governments, the lives and health of the people must come first before the profit of corporations! Corporations and plastic-producing countries must be held accountable for the profound harm to human rights, human health, ecosystems, and economies arising from plastic production, deployment, and disposal.

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

🥤🥤 ينتهي كل عام ما يصل إلى 12 مليون طن من النفايات البلاستيكية في المحيطات، و 9% فقط من إجمالي البلاستيك الذي تم إنتاجه منذ الخمسينيات يُعاد تدويره.
لكن في الحقيقة، إن معظم المخلّفات البلاستيكية التي يتم جمعها لا يُعاد فعلياً تدويرها على الإطلاق – في حين أن الجزء الضئيل الذي يُعاد تدويره يحتوي على مزيج سام من المواد الكيميائية التي تجعلها غير صالحة للاستخدامات الغذائية وغيرها من الاستخدامات الاستهلاكية.
أزمة التلوث البلاستيكي أصبحت مسألة خارجة عن السيطرة، ونحن بحاجة إلى العمل الآن! ✊🏿 ✊🏽✊🏼
