A cool replacement for the plastic pharmacy orange medicine containers. Tully Tubes are paper and still child resistant and hold up to temp and water... Hope we see these adopted by pharmacies ASAP. #BeyondPlastics
Next Monday, @ 6:30 PM (central): Missouri River Bird Observatory is hosting another free webinar as a part of their winter learning series. Open to all, registration required.
This ought to be a good one: Plastics and Public Health, the unsettling latest in medical research. Presented by Megan Wolff, Beyond Plastics.

Made a zero-synthetics, un-dyed pillow with cattail fluff, flax linen cover & cotton thread. #beyondplastics
Howdy, fedi friends. Is there some tool that highlights hashtags that have "made it" and have traction?
As an example, I'm feeling like 2025 is going to be a year in which I focus more attention on plastic awareness and avoidance. I'd like to find that community and add to the conversation.
Just learned about this documentary, Blue Vinyl. Looks like something worth watching!

Another eye opener from last night’s webinar:
In May 2021 a ship caught fire off the coast of Sri Lanka and eventually sunk. The disaster released 1,680 metric tons of plastic pellets “nurdles” into the ocean which covered nearby beaches in plastic dunes. 🤯😭

It is with deep regret that I must admit that #vegan #fashion relies heavily on #plastic that does not last very long and has to be discarded when in disrepair. While I am remaining #plantbased in #diet, to minimize harm to animals, I will thrift and even buy new #wool #leather or #fur if #cotton alternatives are not available. This is the most #zerowaste thing I can do at the moment.
That said, I detest fur on coats, or leather jackets. I will not wear such obnoxious garments.
If you’re looking to avoid plastics and think canned beverages might be better than plastic bottles… Nope! The cans are plastic-lined. One study found a higher amount of chemical leaching and microplastics from those liners vs plastic bottles. Ugh!
Check out this MEL experiment if you want see the plastic bag in a can yourself.

Today I learned that cigarette butts are made of #plastic. I always assumed they were paper and cotton. Nope. Cellulose acetate. Butts are the most common plastic pollution as foks just flick ‘em thinking they will decompose 😑
Oh, cool. Most of the plastic made still exist. We’ve made 8 gigatons so far. That’s double the weight of all animal biomass alive in the world.

"As of 2020, the U.S. plastics industry is responsible for at least 232 million tons of CO2e gas emissions per year. This amount is equivalent to the average emissions from 116 average-sized (500-megawatt) coal-fired power plants."

The disaster in #EastPalestine is a wake-up call for us all about the true cost of plastics.🆘Toxic chemicals like vinyl chloride ☠️have no place in our communities & we must move #beyondplastics 👀Watch our new video at: https://bit.ly/east-palestine-video & share it widely. #toxicplastic
Still finding people to follow in this new to me space. Some interests include advancing #Fairtrade and #sustainableagriculture and going #beyondplastics and getting rid of #foreverchemicals I’m based in #Maine USA but interested in the world and friends working in the trade, food and #environmentaljustice in the #UK, #EU, #africa and beyond. I try to find time every day to explore the #outdoors and the beautiful places where I live. #followbackfriday
“It pains me to say this because I want #nonplastic alternatives to work,” #judithenck ,a former regional administrator for the #usenviromentalprotectionagency
and founder of the advocacy group #BeyondPlastics told #cnn.
“But there really is no such thing as #biodegradable #plastics, and #compostablepackaging really only gets composted at high-temperature #compostingfacilities”
