#ClimateChange #Trees #Birds #Christmas 714,286 trees are cut down for Christmas cards in the US, releasing 82,619 metric tons of CO2. 7 billion greeting cards are bought in the US every year. That's 140,000 tons of paper just to be trashed. We have to stop the madness.

Another brilliant @LecReefs Lab retreat. Getting to see old and new faces and being pushed mentally and physically to do things you don't normally do! Very grateful to be connected to such a lovely bunch!

✅ France bans plastic packaging on fruit & vegetables to curb the growing plastic pollution crisis. 🛑Will the UK go further & faster in the face of the plastic pollution tsunami? @sascampaigns @friends_earth @aplastic_planet @plasticfreepz theguardian.com/world/2021/d…

A huge thank you to all our partners, funders, pioneers and friends who joined us to celebrate #OneLess at @zsllondonzoo yesterday. Together we are changing the way Londoners drink water, from single-use plastic water bottles to refilling and reusing, for the sake of the ocean🌊

Our new paper in @STOTEN_journal looks at the fundamental links between #climatechange and #marine #plasticpollution. We pushed to get this out before #COP26 to illustrate how connected the two issues are. Paper: tinyurl.com/tcf47a5s #OneLess #StopSingleUse #ClimateAction
