As negotiations for a global #PlasticsTreaty (INC-4) continue, learn about the importance of transparency and regulations on chemicals used in plastics. 🎧 Listen to the podcast pod.link/1353457276/epi… #INC4 #BreakFreeFromPlastic

Ecotoxicology expert Bethanie Carney Almroth #PlasticsTreaty #INC4 w/ the Scientists’ Coalition For An Effective #PlasticsTreaty exposed how the industry's tactics–including misinformation, cherry-picking data, & harassment of scientists–aim to hinder policy action to address plastic pollution.

I find the conversation about trust during these negotiations so bizarre. So ironic how countries that bring up issues of trust are the same ones that claim to want this treaty but have gone to great lengths to delay its progress.

“Plastics may last forever, but this INC should not!” With #INC4 over, work remains to be done to narrow gaps in understanding, as well as bridge the divides on the scope and objective of the future #PlasticsTreaty. Read the final Earth Negotiations Bulletin summary ▶️ enb.iisd.org/plastic-pollut…

Why did the freshwater scientist introduce plastics into a lake in NW Ontario? Well, to discover the impact on freshwater lakes, of course... Global National breaks it all down in under three minutes... bit.ly/3yBjUfa

This is a fantastic look at the pELAstic project taking place IISD Experimental Lakes Area. This impressive research project takes place at a real life laboratory to explore the impact of plastics in #freshwater lakes.

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!
