This is the biggest story in all of human history, yet it makes less of a dent in the news cycle than Will Smith

@HirokoTabuchi @CleanAirMoms I know what is technically recyclable in my area but I wish I knew if it was actually being recycled. And even if it is actually recycled, I know plastic can’t be recycled in perpetuity and will eventually be thrown out if it isn’t made into something durable.

Hello Twitter, a question for you: What plastic items are you confused about recycling? (As in, you don't know whether they're recyclable or not?) ♻️

We are at #ExpoWest2022 this week demonstrating how our refill stations can #eliminateplastic from liquid and cream CPG supply chains! Come visit us at booth 367 tomorrow!

Big Oil & Gas is telling us we need to rearrange the deck chairs on Putin’s Titanic and drill more, but the simple truth is that we don’t need to go down with this ship. We can switch to a clean energy economy where we’re no longer reliant on dictators and foreign energy markets.

Wonderfil (Batch 13 Cohort) installed their first smart refill station at UC Berkeley last week. Berkeley is partnering with Wonderfil to help achieve the campus-wide goal of eliminating all non-essential single-use plastics from campus by 2030: twitter.com/WonderfilWorld…

@brkfreeplastic @CocaColaCo Coca cola still hasn’t met its 1990 commitment to 25% PCR plastic bottles. Be careful about labeling announcements like this as progress. Often these “commitments” are just greenwashing. Please spread awareness about actual progress towards circularity, not empty promises.

BREAKING: @CocaColaCo announces new goal of 25% reusable packaging by 2030. As the world’s worst plastic polluter for 4 years in a row, the company is finally listening to the communities impacted most directly by plastic pollution. bit.ly/BFFP-Coke-React #breakfreefromplastic
