Jules<p>This isn't a promotion or anything, but with all the greenwash nonsense out there trying to convince you to buy more unnecessary stuff in the name of sustainability I'm going to take a moment to rave about these resuable silicone tub tops I got which genuinely usefully meet a real need (and yes it's sad that that feels so unusual!)</p><p> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/ZeroWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZeroWaste</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Consumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Consumption</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Recycling</span></a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/PlasticWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlasticWaste</span></a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>I saw a piece about this on the news last week. I try and make some products myself, but not everything.

Your commitment to sustainability rings hollow when I see the devastating impact of your single-use plastics, especially in vulnerable communities in the Global South.<br>Every time I now pick up a Dove product, I'm reminded of the thousands of plastic items your company produces each minute. These end up polluting our oceans and harming communities in places like the Philippines and India, where your plastic waste burns in landfills, releasing toxic fumes.<br>I like to believe that you entered this leadership position at Unilever with a genuine desire to make a positive impact. Now is your moment to truly live up to that aspiration. As a consumer who cares deeply about our planet, I'm urging you to take immediate action:<br>1. Stop selling sachets now.<br>2. Commit to phasing out all single-use plastics within 10 years.<br>3. Use your influence to advocate for these goals at the UN Global Plastics Treaty.<br>Until I see real, verifiable changes, I've made the difficult decision to stop buying all Unilever products. I know many others are joining me in this stand.<br>Unilever has the power and responsibility to lead the industry towards true sustainability. Will you kindly respond to my email and confirm that you are ready to rise to this challenge?</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TakeCareForLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TakeCareForLife</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TakeCareForEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TakeCareForEarth</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopBurnigThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopBurnigThings</span></a></p>

Hari Tulsidas<p>Despite its promise, advanced plastic recycling through pyrolysis may not be the sustainable solution it's touted to be. This process, which breaks down plastics into fuels, faces significant economic, environmental, and efficiency challenges. High costs, energy demands, and low-quality outputs undermine its viability. We must rethink our approach to plastic waste and focus on more practical, eco-friendly methods. </p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Recycling</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PlasticWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlasticWaste</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.salon.com/2024/06/23/the-delusion-of-advanced-plastic-recycling-using-pyrolysis_partner/?utm_source=flipboard&amp;utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2024/06/23/the-delus</span><span class="invisible">ion-of-advanced-plastic-recycling-using-pyrolysis_partner/?utm_source=flipboard&amp;utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes</span></a></p>
Hudson<p>It took me only about 20 minutes to pick up this mostly plastic trash along the Atlantic coastline about 20 miles from Key West. I’ll clean up the rope and use it on my boat and kayak and recycle a few clean plastic bottles but mostly it’s trash. <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/plasticwaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plasticwaste</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plastic</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/banplastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>banplastic</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/saveouroceans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saveouroceans</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/SaveOurPlanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveOurPlanet</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOil</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/keepitintheground" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>keepitintheground</span></a></p>
Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Was it Nancy Meyers or HGTV that made Americans obsessed with decanting their groceries into matching clear containers? Whatever the cause, Jaya Saxena has had enough of it. "As you know by virtue of not being able to buy yogurt by the handful, most food is sold in containers," she writes. "But for many people, these containers are not good enough. So they have built a whole online world dedicated to the purpose of showing you what other types of containers to put your groceries in."
