We could not take it any more!
How a village in Malaysia stood up and became environment acrivists, fighting “western rubbish”. It’s time we in the west start handling our own plastic waste. Let’s stop exporting it to the rest of the world!

IKEA will only use renewable and recycled materials by 2030. It’s already making all its stores environment friendly. Repaired. Reused. Resold. Recycle. Will remove all one use plastic. IKEA is a true leader in sustainable business. Others should follow!

@bonhams1793 please stop this auction you have a moral obligation not to sell these item's. – at South East, England
Absolutely shocking! Bonhams auction house in Hong Kong planning sale of 20+ lots of antique(?) #rhino horn on 27/11. No doubt this ill-timed auction will stimulate illegal trade in rhino horn, will contribute to poaching & possible extinction of species.
