How long has the problem of #PlasticWaste been recognized? How long ago did the #BigPlastic (everyone from chemical companies to users like#CocaCola, #Pepsi & #Nestlé ) talked about #recycling? When will we acknowledge that industry's "voluntary" controls are a smokescreen to cover their continued bad acts? That only a small percentage of plastic is responsibly recycled?

While the Plastic Cup demonstrates the tangible impact of civic actions, it also raises awareness about personal plastic use.
As one participant reflects, "It makes you think about your own plastic choices." Let’s rethink our habits and push for sustainable change! #PlasticWaste #ActionNow

This #earthDay, #cbc news is running at least 3 articles about #plastics, #plasticWaste and accountability for plastics production... yet not one of them mentions the fact that PLASTIC RECYCLING IS A SCAM, and that plastics recycling in #canada and abroad are #greenwashing #moneyLaundering schemes for large plastics-producing companies like #pepsi, #cocacola, #procterAndGamble and so on.
Even the article about the reusable grocery bag switch-a-roo misses how much of a con that was. Make plastic bags illegal, and replace them with PLASTIC BAGS that are just as much plastic, only now they charge you for them.

Ask them what they do with all that plastic. Go ahead - I'll wait.

Researchers at Rice University have developed a groundbreaking technique that utilizes plastic waste to create clean-burning hydrogen fuel. This innovation could address two major environmental issues: plastic pollution and the CO2 emissions associated with traditional hydrogen production.

back in the early heyday of #plastics, the great conjecture was that it was just a matter of time until we found an easy, natural way to break down plastics and make them reusable.
I bought in—I made the scientific leap that let me follow that conjecture—that some bacteria or enzyme or process would be found soon for the #plasticwaste.
60 years of #BigChem promises and profit taking, with no discoveries—and those made even less likely by their lack of corporate responsibility..
