🧨 New study: #DeepSeaMining isn’t the treasure chest it claims to be. Turns out, it’s more like burning cash at the bottom of the ocean for metals we don’t even need. 💸🌊Nature’s verdict: high risk, low reward, bad idea. #DefendTheDeep #KeepItInTheSeabed

The EU’s 5-year #Ecodesign (#ESPR) work plan is out 🥳 But excluding footwear, plastics, paints & chemicals risks more #microplastics in the ocean. Every 👞 product 🛞 counts 🎨. Postponing action today means more pollution tomorrow. 👀 Read more: seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

📢New report shows that the current EU fisheries policy favours large-scale industry to the detriment of small-scale & low-impact fisheries. 🎣🐟 We call on Commissioner Costas Kadis to take action to fully enforce EU law! #OceansPact #RethinkFisheries #Pressrelease 👉 seas-at-risk.org/press-releas...

This chronic microplastic pollution from plastic manufacturers has to stop! Accidents are not the only source, most plastic production plants are also leaking their #plasticpellets into the surrounding environment!

US president has come up with the bold action to reintroduce mandatory #singleuseplastic straws in federal offices when these had been phased out to fight marine pollution. This #americanwayoflife is fuelling #climatechange with 10 times more GHG per person when it could be part of the solution 🙃

More than a third of consumers believe that green claims have been verified – but this is seldom the case. It is time to hold companies to account for green claims – before products or services are placed on the market. 🌳 Learn more about the #GreenClaimsDirective: ecostandard.org/news_events/...

We need to work together. The @ec.europa.eu and the International Maritime Organization must bring binding regulation - an ambitious levy, zero-emission fuel and prioritise energy efficiency - to the maritime industry if there is to be a future in shipping where everyone wins 💪

When trying to decide if a plastic cleanup technology is a good idea, ask yourself: Would this work on land? Would dragging a net through a forest be a good idea? If the answer is “no”, then it’s not a good idea in the ocean, either. #INC5 #PlasticsTreaty

We are drowning in plastics. If business as usual continues, plastic production will triple by 2060. Yesterday, we started our participation in the final negotiations for the Global Plastics Treaty to reach an agreement to tackle plastic pollution at global level. 🧵↓
