This #WorldEnvironmentDay we are calling on everyone to #BeatPlasticPollution. Recycling isn't the magic bullet. Change across the whole plastic lifecycle is critical. Keep plastic in the economy & out of our ecosystems. Join the global movement!

@soniaborrini Let's keep plastic in the economy and out of our ecosystems. Raising awareness about reducing plastic pollution and promoting sustainable habits is crucial. Recycling is only one piece of the puzzle. #EnvironmentDay23

Why were the institutions not capable of preventing this 50+ years ago?

Ready to join

Digest that

People don't recycle. It's pathetic, but true. Tecycling has been attempted for almost 60 years. People aren't recycling. That's not going to change. Time to move to the Swedish model. Hire people to sort recyclables from trash & burn the rest for energy (With scrubbers.)

@UN_News_Centre Lol if you're worried about this, you should learn about what happens to all the one time use plastic in the medical industry. You'll be shocked.

@UNEP_Africa Join @UN_Mauritius #BeatPlastic24 hour social media challenge more info:

@UNEP Great initiative- Each country must publish analytics to enhance the awareness and importance for the world today. Some have too much time for wars and fame only… must be a mandate to follow.

The first thing we have to do is put 20 , 30, even 40 cents on a pound of plastic. Then feed it to an electric furnaces with the highest grade exhaust scrubbers. It’s the only way to get plastic under control

This #WorldEnvironmentDay we agree on a binding that considers studying design, production and waste management. Recycling is not indeed magic bullet. There is a need to keep ecofriendly plastic in economy.
