Optimism in the Air: UN Pollution to Solution Working on Treaties to Mitigate Plastic Pollution The UN Pollution to Solution: Working on Treaties to Mitigate Plastic Pollution! 🌊🌐 The UN has recognized the danger of microplastics and continues to work through various committees to identify and evaluate different solutions to prevent and clean up plastic pollution. More international groups will need to be involved to find a broad-based global solution. Let's all join hands in this crucial mission! 💪🌱 Article Link: https://bit.ly/401rzN5 #UNforChange #BeatPlasticPollution #GlobalSolutions #microplastics

SYNOPSIS As the debate over terminology continues, it is evident that these formations will pose a bigger plastic pollution problem. The environmental repercussions, from altered microbial communities to the release of microplastics, addresses the urgent need for comprehensive solutions to mitigate the impacts of plastic pollution on our planet. #plasticplasticeverywhere #plasticpollution https://lnkd.in/gKGXd5BH

⚓️ This article examines the devastating impact of plastic pollution on marine life and ecosystems, from sea turtles suffocating and seabirds ingesting waste, and the means to combat this problem ♻️🌎 🌊 Readers are encouraged to share their experiences or concerns about plastic pollution in the comments below! #easysustainability #CleanSeas #marineecosystem 

How can we tackle the growing issue of plastic pollution internationally? The latest European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC) report discusses possible solutions: https://bit.ly/3OAqBCV

As plastic production increases, so does plastic pollution—with much of it accumulating in our ocean. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to end plastic pollution through an international legally binding agreement (also known as the plastics treaty). In this issue of "Perspectives" for UN Environment Programme, members of our Ocean Conservancy team outline the steps that need to be taken and measures that should be included in the agreement to combat plastic pollution on a global scale.

This new report from the Nordic Council of Ministers shows support towards UNEP's international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (https://lnkd.in/g5He7ZKG). The report concludes that having global harmonised policies could have a significant positive contribution towards the journey to ending plastic pollution by 2040. #plasticspollution #plasticwaste #globaltreaty

How much do we (truly) know about the impact of plastic pollution? Today, on #EarthDay, check out EarthDay.org's Plastic Pollution Quiz for some concerning facts: https://lnkd.in/eq9QRYah.

It's World Water Day 🌊 Did you know that according to the Ellen Macarthur Foundation, annual estimates of synthetic microfiber pollution entering the oceans is equivalent in weight to more than 50 billion plastic bottles? This is just one reason why it's so important that we work together to minimize the amount of microplastic pollution entering and persisting in our oceans and water sources. #WorldWaterDay #OceanPollution
