Stop Rosebank @stopcambo.bsky.social · 29/10/2025
SHOCKING🚨: America’s richest 0.1% are fuelling the crisis at 4,000 times the rate of the world’s poorest. The same billionaires who profit from pollution are the ones blocking action. It’s time to hold them accountable and fight for a liveable planet.

BREAKING 🚨: Equinor has admitted the Rosebank oil field would result in 249 million tonnes of CO2. That's more than the combined annual emissions of Ireland, Belgium and Greece. But Equinor says that's not their problem. They profit, everyone else pays the price.

SHOCKING FACT: Our planet is drowning in plastic waste - over 400 million tonnes a year. That’s equivalent to twice the height of the world’s tallest building. We wouldn’t do this to our backyards - so why do it to Earth? 📷 credit: Made Visual
A 3D visual representation of one year of global plastic waste, totalling over 400 million tonnes. The waste is illustrated as a large transparent container filled with compressed plastic, segmented by usage categories and stacked vertically. Each segment is labeled with its category and weight in tonnes:

Packaging: 155.9 million tonnes (largest section at the bottom)

Consumer Products: 47 million tonnes

Vehicles: 47.9 million tonnes

Textiles: 42.9 million tonnes

Construction & Electronics: 37.5 million tonnes

Other: 67.7 million tonnes (top section)

To the left, the silhouette of the Burj Khalifa is shown for scale comparison. The data source is OECD (2024 forecast from 2020), and the volume is calculated based on a plastic density of 400 kg/m³. The image is credited to Made Visual Co.
