#BreakFreeFromPlastic @RethinkPlastic reacts 🧵 New data shows EU plastic production dropped 8.3% from 2022-23, as a result of the sector's unsustainable focus on profit. But there is more to this than meets the eye... 👇 https://t.co/UXuJ1utnFq

Old Story, same outcome: Trump threatens tarrifs, @vonderleyen says EU will import more #climate wrecking #HumanRightsVioaltions drenched #frackedgas/#LNG! We already had the same scenario under Juncker! And cheap US #LNG ? Gimme a break! @Mzozane @txenvironment @betterbayou
Trump is gonna use US LNG as a geopolitical bargaining chip 🇺🇸 🚢 🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said they floated the idea of replacing Russian LNG with US LNG 📈 The US is the world’s top LNG exporter, and production will double by 2030

The vessel was transporting its cargo from Russia to the Canary Islands when it suffered damage. It was anchored off the coast of Kent while the owners negotiated a safe place to dock.
🚢 A damaged cargo ship carrying 20,000 tons of #FossilFertilizers from Russia is stalled off the coast of Kent 🇬🇧. Its cargo of thousands of tons of hazardous #Toxic nitrogen-based fertilizer could lead to a disastrous explosion. READ: https://t.co/LRjg5B7gAP A thread 🧵👇

"Louisiana's oil, gas, and #petrochemical industries have been damaging the state for decades - devastating our coastlines, water, soil, air, & bodies. They used to at least pay a significant portion of our state revenue & employ our workers. Not anymore." says @soopajane

🚩When it comes to petrochemicals, Louisiana has always been a bellwether. Louisiana’s reliance on the industry has taken it from a state of economic growth to one of decline. This should serve as a stark warning for all economies banking on petrochemicals & plastics.

📉 NEW @ieefa_institute report reveals Louisiana's #petrochemical economy is in a state of decline. "Slow economic growth, increase in sustainable investments & new geopolitical alignments point to declining significance for the petrochemical industry.”
ieefa.org
The two most important drivers of the state’s petrochemical industry—ethylene and methanol—are areas that are being proposed for expansion, even as demand is slowing and risk factors mount.

All @ExxonMobil wants is to be left in peace while they lie to us about plastic. Is that too much to ask?

📢 @IEA report is clear: Higher clean energy investment & a fast, fair, funded phase-out of all #FossilFuels are needed to move the world towards a climate-safe future. Essentially, phasing out #Petrochemicals must be part of this transition! More in @delphinelevialv's 🧵 👇
Today @IEA released its flagship #WorldEnergyOutlook. The key takeaways: Petrochemicals (along with aviation) are projected to drive #FossilFuels demand growth, therefore fueling the #ClimateCrisis, #PlasticsCrisis, and biodiversity loss. A mini 🧵 https://t.co/Ek6X20w01j

Now, let's cover the basics: 🧮Fossil fuels: 1⃣Met 80% of global energy demand in 2023 [this demand is set to peak by 2030, 2⃣ Are the primary driver of the #ClimateCrisis 🧮World leaders are pledging to tackle #ClimateChange by #EndFossiFuels. Yeah, something doesn't add up!

The extraction, production & transport of #Petrochemicals pose risks to: 👉 Human health, 👉 #HumanRights, 👉 Worker & community safety, 👉 Local ecosystems, & 👉 The global climate. Yet, #Petrochemicals are projected to lead new demand for #FossilFuels worldwide! @PriceofOil

❗️#Petrochemicals are #FossilFuel in another form as they are derived from oil, gas & coal production & are used to make synthetic products like plastics & fertilizers. Both petrochemical production & consumption are often toxic & harmful to our health. https://t.co/AXdbfjicwW
