Plastic gets into our lungs and even our brains. They are in our food, they are in everything, and everywhere, from bottom of ocean to top of tallest mountain. Less than 5% of plastics in U.S. recycled, and rest burned, landfilled, or on land or oceans https://t.co/lAhKQSrgGs

#PlasticPollution is a huge threat to the health of our environment... So what has the government done to stop it? Not enough. The gov has only addressed 4/10 types of plastic pollution and seems satisfied with a slow-moving approach to this crisis. https://t.co/lg0koh6apw

Glasgow did not close the gap between where we are headed & where we need to be in terms of #emissions reductions in 2030. The different announcements (NDC updates & sectoral initiatives) would close it by +/- 25%. More from @climateactiontr ⤵️ https://t.co/BfIcbS66ce 2/6
