On a scale of 1-10 how concerned are you about climate change? Footage by @TEDTalk

@AbiluTangwa 10 😢

"On a scale from 1-10, how troubled are you about the rapid loss of global insect populations and pollinators? 🐝"

Fun fact: Most plastic utensils from takeout go straight from the bag to the trash. New Jersey just changed that. The state passed the strongest Skip the Stuff law in the U.S. – utensils and condiments are now only provided when requested. Less waste, more choice. 🎉 @GovMurphy

What do you think actually causes plastic pollution?

And you should stop making so much plastic. #plasticpollutes #breakfreefromplastic

U ask. We answer. 💬 Today, we're touching on the biggest myths about recycling. Have you heard of any other recycling myths? Share them below! ♻️👇And check out our bog post on plastic recycling myths: buff.ly/szHDCrS #recycling #environmentalism

Once upon a time, Coca-Cola set the standard for refillable glass bottles. But today, they’re the top corporate plastic polluter in the world according to Brand Audit reports. Send this to @CocaCola to urge them to Bring Back Refill. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #NoToSingleUse

The largest incinerator in the whole country is just outside of Philadelphia in Chester PA. Children in Chester have asthma rates 5X the national average and Philadelphia is one of the top #AsthmaCapitals in the country. Protect the health of our kids NOW. buff.ly/6uspeRj

What happens to our trash isn’t accidental – it’s how the current system is designed. #WasteIsPolitical

Our trash should NOT be mixing with nature. PERIOD. If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, etc., then it needs to be redesigned or removed from production!

🚨 Many compost, soil, & "fertilizer" products sold by @HomeDepot, @Lowes, and @Walmart are made with sewage sludge—which contains PFAS, heavy metals, and microplastics. These toxics put public health at risk. 👉 Tell big box stores to stop selling them. buff.ly/CXl3cNi

Philly-led lawsuit alleges two prominent companies misled the public about the efficacy of recycling in order to continue profiting off the production and sale of plastic: gridphilly.com/blog-home/2026…

🌟🎉 Happy New Year from Just Zero! 🎉🌟 As we step into 2026, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported us this past year. Here’s to a new year full of opportunities to reduce waste and advocate for the planet. 💪 Illustration by Mira Petrova.

Just Zero’s Executive Director, @KirstiePecci, and Senior Scientist, Laura Orlando @LFO, dive deep into what you need to know about #PFAS—one of the most persistent and dangerous chemicals affecting our environment and health.💧It's time PFAS are regulated OUT of our lives. @EPA

Food waste is the largest material in landfills—and a major driver of climate pollution. 🗑️🌍 When it rots, it releases methane—80x more potent than CO2. Composting stops that pollution and helps soil store carbon. If you can, compost! buff.ly/eGWl2Ch

🎄✨ Happy Holidays from our favorite sustainable baddie! ♻️💚 What’s your favorite quote from The Grinch? 🤔 There are so many good ones—it’s hard to choose! 😄🎁 #grinch

Chemical recycling facilities only lead to dangerous, toxic, and climate-damaging effects. It DOES NOT help us or the planet. We need real solutions, not a toxic cycle! ☠️ “These half-baked ’silver bullets’ don't belong anywhere.” - @kevin_budris, Just Zero Deputy Director

Landfills and incinerators have long been seen as the only “real” solutions—but that outdated thinking ignores the real issue and the real solutions. It’s time to ditch false solutions and tackle waste where it starts! 💪 buff.ly/dF9pi0a

Hot Take: Most recycling logos are marketing, not reality. That little triangle is permission to buy more stuff, not a guarantee anything gets recycled.

There is an amazing technology that literally sucks CO2 out of the air, costs very little, and builds itself...... It's called a tree.
