Thanks to @FriendsofBerczy for organizing today’s #EarthDay2023 clean up.
It’s always great to see people come together to take care of our communities - even in the pouring rain!

Most of the litter today was #SingleUsePlastics and takeout containers. It will return again and again, unless we take action to reduce this waste at the source.
Our city needs solutions like #ReusableTO containers, sustainable packaging and small business supports to go green.

And there is so much more we can and must do to protect our environment and act on the climate crisis.
We can have reliable public transit, safe streets for cyclists and pedestrians, thriving green space, clean rivers, climate-ready communities, and good green jobs!

I’m delighted to announce that my provocative piece on the impact of #plasticpollution on the #tropics is the first published article in Journal of Tropical Futures published by @SAGEPublishers

Unsustainable #plastic production, use and mismanagement have resulted in increased #plasticpollution in the environment threatening #sustainability, especially in the #tropics.

Countries in the #tropics have been disproportionally impacted by #plasticpollution due to imports of #plasticwaste from developed countries, or because tropical Small Island Developing States have become overwhelmed by #singleuseplastics used widely in the tourism sector.
1/15 So-called “chemical recycling” or “advanced recycling” are not the safe, green, or “circular" technologies often described by the petrochemical industry. Let’s take a deeper dive and look at a few examples in today’s #FacilityFriday🧵. @CLF
2/15 All so-called “chemical” or “advanced” recycling technologies burn plastic or other waste – or turn it into fuel to be burned elsewhere. Any supposed “raw materials” that come out of the process are purely incidental. #FacilityFriday @GAIAnoburn

3/15 Burning plastic ≠ recycling. So-called “chemical recycling” uses a two-step incineration process. Step 1: expose plastics to temps as high as 2,800° F to create fuel and waste byproducts. Step 2: burn the dirty fuel and the waste. #FacilityFriday clf.org/blog/burning-w…
