When improperly disposed of, they can end up in landfills, where they take hundreds of years to decompose, releasing harmful chemicals into the soil and water. Additionally, many bottles find their way into oceans and waterways, where they break down into microplastics, posing a threat to marine life and ecosystems. Solution By taking collective action to conserve and protect drinking water resources, we can ensure a sustainable and secure water future for generations to come. https://qr.ae/ps7uHE

What are the most common items polluting beaches? 🤔 SEAQUAL INITIATIVE list below:5️⃣ Bottle caps. These tiny items present a huge threat to marine animals.4️⃣ Plastic bags. With trillions being used yearly, these objects most often get tangled in nature or block natural waterways.3️⃣ Beverage bottles. Very common and damaging, but thankfully some initiatives are already working on giving plastic bottles a second purpose through recycling.2️⃣ Food wrappers. These light products can easily fly away with the wind and end up in nature, so it is important to recycle them responsibly!1️⃣ Cigarette butts. Taking the top of the list, these items are the most common to be found on beaches, yet one of the longest ones to degrade.However, all of these items could easily be prevented from reaching nature by taking back with us our waste! It only takes a small effort to achieve a greatly positive impact ✊🏻#seaqualinitiative #TogetherForACleanOcean #plasticpollution #nature #beaches

Germany's Landmark Court’s decision highlights the urgency of climate action. 🌍 We all need to be part of the solution. This Earth Day, let's acknowledge the responsibility we all share in protecting our environment. 🌱 Here are 3 easy and impactful tips to get you started: 👇 ✔ Ditch Plastic ! Invest in a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated the eco-friendly way. I use a glass bottle at home and office for my daily hydration 💪🥛 ✔ Embrace Reusable Bags ! Say no to single-use plastic bags at the store. Carry reusable bags and make a statement against plastic waste. 🛍 ✔ Idle Less, Breathe More ! Turn off your engine at traffic lights. Idling cars waste gas and pollute the air. Your lungs (and the planet) will thank you. 🚗 These small changes not only benefit the environment but also save you money and contribute to a healthier planet for everyone. 🌞 Let's show our Earth some love, every single day ! #EarthDay #SelfDevelopment #GrowTogether #Green

Plastic straws suck for the environment, ending up in landfills and oceans. So just say no to straws to reduce this plastic pollution! Many restaurants now only serve straws upon request. Bring your own reusable straw when out and decline a straw when dining in. Earn your #GreenSignature certification for banning single-use plastic straws at your establishment, contributing to #SDG14 Life Below Water and #SDG12 Responsible Consumption and Production for #Sustainability. #stopsucking

💧 Today is World Water Day 💧 We said this last year and unfortunately the same applies! Our waters are massively polluted, from the ponds, lakes, rivers, and canals to the oceans; they're all contaminated with foreign bodies. Is the war on plastics really fair? Do those plastic bottles and bags walk themselves into the water? Does the EPS packaging put itself there? The problem is YOU 👆 👆 You; who chooses not to dispose of these things correctly. 👆 You; who chooses to throw it out the car window. 👆 You; who drops it whilst walking. 👆 YOU are the problem. Not the plastic! 🗑 Dispose of it properly and we would not have this problem. ♻️Recycle these products properly and we could see a whole new future ahead of us! #Recycle #Recycling #WorldWaterDay
