Since 1962, the chemical industry knew PFOA (C8)—used to make Teflon—was toxic. Workers got sick. Birth defects followed. They covered it up. PFAS (forever chemicals) are now everywhere: 🍿 Food packaging 🥘 Nonstick pans 🚰 Water 🌿 Soil & fertilizer We need to #BanPFAS.

Trees = climate warriors. 🌳💪 They clean air & water, store carbon, support life. But they can’t protect themselves. This #NationalLoveATreeDay, sign The Nature Conservancy’s petition to protect public lands. 🌿 buff.ly/oAAmZhP 👯‍♀️ RT to 2x your impact.

"Producing synthetic fibers each year = 342 million barrels of oil. But plastics, including synthetic fibers, consist of more than just oil. They’re a mix of oil and over 16,000 chemicals, with at least 4,200 known to be toxic to people and the planet." buff.ly/4xqxbjS

“When we’re talking about accuracy, there’s not really room for mass balance.” — Peter Blair on the misleading accounting system that allows virgin plastic to be labeled as 'recycled.' grist buff.ly/QNcAtvZ

How long do common household items take to compost? Lettuce breaks down in weeks, orange peels take months, but “compostable” plastics? Many require industrial composting—and often, those facilities just burn them instead.

You can’t turn pyrolysis oil straight into new plastic. It has to be diluted with virgin fossil fuel — meaning “chemical recycling” still relies heavily on new plastic. grist #RecyclingMyths buff.ly/QNcAtvZ

PepsiCo is backing away from key climate + plastic reduction goals — delaying deadlines, lowering targets, and scrapping reuse plans altogether. We don’t need more corporate backsliding. We need laws that hold polluters accountable. #BreakFreeFromPlastic buff.ly/DS8FKku

PFAS has the ability to multiply in wastewater treatment plants, highlighting the urgency to stop this contamination at the source. 👇💧 PEER buff.ly/4dWa72z

🌍 Over 92 million tons of textile waste are trashed globally each year. “When you have three or even two components, like denim with spandex, recycling is nearly impossible. But [clothes] made from 100% cotton? That’s easy.” 👖✨ buff.ly/oWDYGwr

😳 New research shows chemicals in PVC plastic mess with sleep signals–just like caffeine. Even a 17-min delay in your internal clock can have real health effects. Plastics aren't just a pollution issue–they’re a health one too. buff.ly/2wMQdIV

Your clothes might be shedding more than style. 🧵 Acrylic, polyester, nylon & spandex can release up to 730,000 microplastic fibers per wash–into our air, lungs, and blood. But cotton, wool, linen, silk? 🌿 Biodegradable 💨 No microplastics 🧘‍♀️ Support your energy & health

We’re in D.C. calling on lawmakers to act on plastic pollution. Communities are living with its toxic impacts—from production to disposal. We need to stop it at the source and invest in real solutions like reuse and refill. It’s time to protect people, not plastic profits.

More old skool refill in Rome! ⁦Just Zero⁩

Most pyrolysis oil from “chemical recycling” isn’t made into plastic — it’s just burned. “Often it’s burned because it’s no good for anything else,” said chemical engineer Andrew Rollinson. grist #Greenwashing buff.ly/QNcAtvZ

PepsiCo promised to cut virgin plastic and shift to reuse. Now? Those goals are delayed, watered down, or gone. Voluntary pledges aren’t enough — we need real policies to stop plastic pollution at the source. #ZeroWaste #PlasticsCrisis buff.ly/rhIUu7p

Reuse is out. Recycled content goals delayed. Climate targets weakened. PepsiCo is scaling back its sustainability strategy — and it's a warning sign for the whole industry. We need regulation, not broken promises. #ClimateCrisis #PlasticPollution buff.ly/DS8FKku

Melting trash into fuel or plastic might sound green–but it’s not. These high-heat, chemical-heavy methods pollute our air and fuel the climate crisis. 🌡️🌬️ We need real solutions, not false ones. buff.ly/cgWfqxf
