That's protecting 19,112 sea turtles from plastic ingestion. 💧 Water Saved: We've saved 12,951,040 L of water by reusing containers! That's equivalent to the lifetime supply of water for 228 humans. 🌿 GHG Emissions Avoided: Our efforts have also avoided 268,800 kg of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to driving 973,329 km.

𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 United Nations Here’s why: 🖊 Every year, 300 million tonnes of plastic waste is produced, with 11 million tonnes ending up in our oceans. 🖊 This isn't just about litter on beaches or entangled wildlife; it's about our health too. 🖊 As plastic breaks down into smaller pieces, it enters our food chain. Yes, that means we're consuming it too, through fish, farm animals, and even tap water. Most of this plastic never truly disappears. It simply transforms into microplastics that infiltrate every part of our ecosystem, including our own bodies. So, what can we do? It starts with awareness, moves to action, and requires us to rethink our daily choices. Whether it's opting for reusable items, supporting companies with sustainable practices, or advocating for policy changes, every little action counts. What's one change you're committed to making this year to reduce your plastic footprint? Share below!! #ocean #plasticwaste #water #illuminem

This Earth Day, let's tackle a critical issue impacting our rural and remote communities—plastic pollution. With this year's theme, "Planet vs. Plastics," we recognize that reducing plastic waste is not just about cleaning up our environment, it's about protecting our health. Rural areas, often the starting point of our food supply chains, are directly affected by the contamination of land and waterways from plastics. By committing to a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040 and eliminating single-use plastics by 2030, we can safeguard our ecosystems and ensure healthier, sustainable living conditions for our rural populations. Let’s unite for a plastic-free future to preserve the health of our planet and our communities. #EarthDay2024 #PlanetVsPlastics #RuralHealth EARTHDAY.ORG

On April 22nd, Earth Day 2024, let's join the global movement to end plastic pollution for the well-being of humanity and the planet. It's alarming that only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled. Each year, around 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, endangering marine life and ecosystems. The day advocates for a 60% reduction in all plastic production by 2040, aiming to mitigate this crisis. This Earth Day, let's raise awareness about the urgent need to reduce plastic consumption, recycle effectively, and transition to sustainable alternatives. Together, we can safeguard our environment for future generations. Take action today for a cleaner, healthier planet tomorrow. #AllianceHealthcarePK #EarthDay
