Tragic news: our local landfill site is on fire. The blaze is horrendous and the smoke towering over the tiny village of Ladybank. Locals are to keep windows and doors shut.
The A92 is closed in both directions so our normally sleepy little road is very busy.
I’m feeling pretty crap about it. We can’t go on using plastics and chucking them in the ground and hoping it never comes back to bite us.

„They [Aramco] label #plastic as “circular” and climate-friendly, although in practice it remains almost entirely fossil-based, exacerbating #globalwarming and the #PlasticCrisis.“

Plastic waste is set to become the unwelcome guest we can't kick out! 🌏 In just 10 years, experts warn we’ll be drowning in the same materials we hoped to recycle. Time to step it up before we’re all living in a plastic paradise! #PlasticCrisis #Sustainability #WasteNot Source: https://theinformer.uk

Curb ‘stupid #plastics’ and stop industry BS: urgent actions to prevent a #plasticcrisis
Despite a potential surge in #environmental and #health issues related to #microplastics, we haven’t yet started reining the problem in. Global #plastic production doubled from around 230m tons annually in 2000 to 460m tons in 2019, and is expected to double again by 2040.
Worst of microplastics is yet to come. Here’s what we need to do now to begin mitigating the wide-ranging harms https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/article/2024/jul/09/microplastics-health-crisis -

We're a week into #PlasticFreeJuly, so this op ed from #JudithEnck resonates even more loudly. #PFAS and #microplastics are in our drinking water -- and there is no "safe" level of contamination.
But avoiding single-use plastic is neigh impossible for consumers. The change has to come from bipartisan policies that halt the production, use, and disposal of plastic.

CW: Plastic pollution and the climate crisis
As the #UN negotiates a historic #GlobalPlasticTreaty, they need to remember that addressing the #PlasticCrisis also addresses the #ClimateCrisis.
According to a report from the Center for International Environmental Law,
“By 2050, plastic production and incineration could emit 2.8 gigatons of CO2 per year, releasing as many emissions as 615 five-hundred-megawatt coal plants.” https://t.co/K5qgAcGRLk -
