Interesting to see the Guardian's @dpcarrington.bsky.social weighing in on this. My take, as someone covering microplastics heavily for the past year (and currently sitting at a 200+ person conference with many of the scientists in question):

‘A bombshell’: doubt cast on discovery of microplastics throughout human body
Exclusive: Some scientists say many detections are most likely error, with one high-profile study called a ‘joke’

NO TO SINGLE-USE! 🥤🥡

Single-use items represent a massive design failure, creating a legacy of pollution that recycling alone cannot fix.

#ChooseReuse! What's one thing you do to avoid single-use? Share it in the comments!

Reuse, repair, and other zero waste practices have been the norm for many communities in the world. 🌍✨ It shows that the solutions we need often already exist.

Waste doesn’t just disappear, IT MOVES 🌍
The global waste trade hides exploitation, pollution, & backroom deals. Instead of cutting plastic, polluters export the damage to vulnerable communities.

The chance to deliver a treaty that helps to end the plastic pollution crisis is still on the table. Ambitious countries have yet to use all the tools at their disposal, including voting, to secure real progress.
