A beautiful country that I've been lucky enough to visit. It's brilliant to see Vanuatu taking world-leading action on single-use plastics!
IEEP - Institute for European Environmental Policy@IEEP_eu29 Aug 2019
Last year, the island nation of Vanuatu banned drinking straws, plastic bags and styrofoam. By December, it plans to add all single-use plastics to the list – becoming one of the first countries in the world to do so, and a year ahead of the EU. @bbcworld bbc.com/reel/video/p07l0ftg/…

This lovely little creature just paid me a visit in the @IEEP_eu London office. If anyone can identify it, please let me know! (It seemed at home on the EU Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy, if that helps 😉)
