✈️ HUGE WIN in the fight to #BanPrivateJets!
Europe’s largest private jet sales fair #EBACE has been officially CANCELLED!
After years of relentless scrutiny from campaigners and climate justice groups, the event has finally been grounded for good! 🚫✈️🚫
It’s confirmed: microplastics are in all of us 🧬 They’re linked to infertility, heart disease, and endocrine disruption.
The good news? It’s not too late to reduce exposure. ♻️ Start with simple swaps for a healthier future.

Ever tossed good food because of a confusing date label? 🥴 The Food Date Labeling Act (FDLA) would fix that. If passed, companies would have to use just 2 labels: ✔️ Best if Used By (quality). ✔️ Use By (safety). Learn more about the FDLA! buff.ly/0S8ByWL
🌍 It’s Earth Month – push for real solutions: reuse, cut plastic, support policy, hold polluters accountable. We’re doing the work. Join us. 🌱 just-zero.org/donate/

Victory!🎉 Colorado just passed the Plastic Pellet-Free Waters Act (SB26-016) to stop that pollution at the source.
📅 Effective August 2027

"Since elementary school, we’ve been told that these beverage containers are recyclable, and that we all just need to do our part to reduce litter. But this false individualistic narrative is pushed by corporations – the very culprits responsible for our waste crisis." just-zero.org/our-stories/...
Imagine a Target run where you refill stainless steel containers with shampoo, hand soap, and more! 🚿 Holding companies accountable for their waste and incentivizing them to adopt refillable packaging is the way forward!

🤡 It’s April Fools’ Day–but greenwashing isn’t a joke.
Companies often say products are “sustainable” or “recyclable,” even when those claims don’t match reality. Our Greenwashed 2025 report breaks down real cases of greenwashing and explains the tactics to watch for: just-zero.org/reports/gree...
Is it really sustainable – or just greenwashing?
Join us on April 29 as we unpack how misleading environmental claims shape consumer choices and delay real solutions with Dr. Emily Oertling.
Learn how to spot greenwashing and push for accountability.

The 90s were cooler. Literally.
We had less plastic, lower emissions, and fewer extreme weather disasters.
But the good news is – there’s still time to change this.
Some companies are failing our planet and everyone who depends on it. 🌍🚫 Enough is enough! It’s time to hold these businesses accountable for their actions. 🕵️♂️⚖️

For International Day of Forests, we wanted to talk about the state of our wild places—because across the country, ecosystems are under attack. From forests to wetlands, grasslands to coastlines, policy decisions are opening vast stretches of public land to logging, drilling, and mining.
Did you know? Americans waste 40% of the U.S. food supply. Shocking right??
Systemic change is key! buff.ly/mBqxSOx
Interesting to see the Guardian's @dpcarrington.bsky.social weighing in on this. My take, as someone covering microplastics heavily for the past year (and currently sitting at a 200+ person conference with many of the scientists in question):

Farms are being contaminated with PFAS from sewage sludge. Now, communities are paying the price.
EPA must act.

Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring helped spark the modern environmental movement by exposing how widespread pesticide use was harming wildlife, ecosystems, and human health.

Homes aren't the main source of our waste -- It’s places like schools, restaurants, and hospitals. 🏫🍽️🏥
We can prevent a good chunk of that waste by pushing for policies like Bottle Bills and extended producer responsibility for packaging laws (EPR).

Incinerators don't make trash disappear. It just ends up as toxic ash that pollutes the environment and puts nearby communities at risk — proving once again that burning trash isn't a clean solution. 🚫 Learn more: buff.ly/W4hbPxL
🚨 Single-use plastic isn’t inevitable—it’s a choice. Reuse systems already work, but major brands delay real action in favor of a toxic, throwaway model that harms communities and the planet. 👉 Tell them ditch single-use plastics and fund reusable, refillable packaging. just-zero.org/tell-big-bra...
Throwaway culture is built on convenience — and fueled by companies that profit off single-use junk. But here's the good news: A reuse future IS possible. Let’s invest in reuse, refill, and real zero-waste solutions. The planet is counting on us! 🌎 buff.ly/3TqACUS
Spreading #PFAS contaminated sewage sludge on land puts both people and the planet at risk. Take action now: nofany.org/sewage-sludge-action
Climate change is real.
Here’s the truth: Warmer oceans fuel stronger storms. Hotter air holds more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall and flooding. Rising temps intensify heat waves and wildfires. Fossil fuels are the main driver but plastic and the way our trash is handled play a role too.
From toilet to table? 🤢 Sewage sludge is often used as fertilizer on farmland.
But this sludge is loaded with #PFAS, aka 'forever chemicals,' which contaminate soil, water, and ultimately, our food. 🥬🚰 putting our health at risk. 💀

Did you know that 11 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year?😱 But there's hope — strong bottle bills are a proven solution. The higher the deposit, the higher the return! 💚 buff.ly/3KltpSc
