🌍 Plastic pollution is a silent killer. It harms our health, poisons wildlife, and devastates our planet. Oil mining is fueling this crisis by driving harmful plastic production this must END! We can't let Big Oil profit while our future is at risk. Ban single-use plastics NOW & demand a #PlasticFreeFuture! Stop the destructive cycle. 🛑🌱 #BreakFreeFromPlastic #ReducePlastic #StopEACOP #ActNow 💪

Earthjustice is fighting to get the EPA to ban Paraquat, a pesticide linked to Parkinson’s. Chemical companies are burying the evidence, and the EPA's latest review ignores the risks. The EPA needs to hear from you to ban this deadly chemical. ejus.tc/3IiTznj

With practically zero benefit, toxic chemicals called neonicotinoids are being used on crop seeds across the U.S. Notorious ag lobby & pushy agrichem salespeople seem to care only about their bottom line & not about crop yields. @lisaelaineh reports: ejus.tc/3YJj5Lz
Nearly all commodity corn farmers receive seed coated with neonics at the start of each season. Many cannot identify the insecticide in the coating.
@lisaelaineh reports in the latest installment of our investigative series, Chemical Capture.

Entrusting manufacturers to ensure product lifecycles are nontoxic is not working.
Evidence: “Testing results show that nearly all landfills in the state [RI] serve as a source of PFAS contamination.”
At least 1 is now considered a superfund site.

😡IRA climate change mitigation funds should NOT be used to fund projects that send plastics to be burned at steel plants, creating GHGs, air pollution, microplastic pollution & fire risks. 📢Urge @ENERGY Sec. Granholm to reject this mistake: bit.ly/doe-burning #toxicplastic #climatefail

Did you know @dunkindonuts STILL won’t accept BYO cups? 😱 They’re notorious for refusing reusable cups. Jill, who leads BYO efforts with Columbia County Reduces in New York, decided to take action!

All @ExxonMobil wants is to be left in peace while they lie to us about plastic. Is that too much to ask?

I’m in a @storyofstuff meeting, hearing about how @CocaCola has covered the planet with disposable packaging in the name of convenience. You know what is really convenient? A planet with a stable climate and drinkable water and beaches not covered with trash. #bringbackrefill

My friend critiques the pet-industrial complex. I defend the joys of having dogs but stuff like this doesn’t help my case. Pets don’t need pajamas. We’re using too much stuff; let’s phase out the crap no one needs to buy us more time to figure out the harder stuff. @storyofstuff
