🌊 Happy World Oceans Day! 🌍 Today, we celebrate the beauty and importance of our oceans and raise awareness about the need to protect them. Our oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and are home to a stunning array of life. Here are a few simple ways we can all make a difference 👍 : 1. Reduce Single-Use Plastics: Say no to single-use plastics like straws, bags, and bottles. Opt for reusable alternatives to help reduce plastic pollution in our oceans. 2. Conserve Water 💧 : Every drop counts! Simple actions like fixing leaks and taking shorter showers can make a big difference. 3. Support Sustainable Seafood 🐟 : Choose sustainably sourced seafood to help protect marine ecosystems and support responsible fishing practices. 🐋 This World Oceans Day, let's commit to taking action to safeguard our oceans for future generations. Together, we can make a positive impact! 💙 🌊 To support ocean conservation efforts, consider donating to non-profits such as Ocean Alliance, Inc. and help protect marine life and habitats around the world. #WorldOceansDay #OceanConservation #ProtectOurOceans #SustainableLiving #Donate #OceanAllianceInc

On Stop Food Waste Day, Alasdair Jackson's words underscore the profound impact of our partnership: 'Without Global Ardour’s continued financial support, we would have had to cut back or stop some of our services in that area. That tells you how key it is. In fact, that support will enable us to deliver in excess of 1.5 million meals in Lancashire to those who really need it.' By supporting Recycling Lives Charity, we're not just preventing waste, we're nourishing communities. Together, we're transforming lives, one meal at a time. #StopFoodWasteDay #GlobalArdourRecycling 

The #inktober prompt for today is 'exotic' and I liked to look at not what would be foreign or alien to *us*, but when are *we* or our products exotic to other lifeforms? Please help reduce waste ending up in the environment. The plastic bag will outlive hundreds of generations of octopuses, and might kill as many in the process. And of course a donation to your favorite NGO like Greenpeace can help protect the environment. #inktober2024

The world’s most significant issues often require complex solutions.   Reducing our plastic footprint (and advocating for government regulation to help others do so), helping prevent mosquito-borne diseases, and creating opportunities where access may be limited but potential is boundless are some of the ways SC Johnson brings our expertise, capabilities, and partnerships to create meaningful progress toward our vision of a #betterworld.   We’ve been working to do what’s right for the planet and the people on it for decades; from removing CFCs from products in 1975 (10 years before it was required), to using our 60+ years of insect science to help fight diseases, and from launching our first 100% recycled bottle more than 30 years ago, to donating 5% of pre-tax profits to charities every year since 1937.   We are proud to release the latest version of our Better World Accountability Report, designed to showcase how we are delivering on our commitments and the work that still needs doing.

As a non-profit charitable organization, we achieve our goals by working collaboratively with and for our members and partners. This month, we’re excited to showcase Merlin Plastics Supply Inc., a valued member of the RCA! Merlin Plastics is a recycler and processor of post-consumer and post-industrial plastic packaging. Merlin’s high-value, high-quality recycled plastic pellet and flake, PET (FDA), HDPE (FDA), LDPE and PP, are being integrated into various commercial and industrial industries as an alternative to virgin resin for manufacturers to produce similar or other consumer goods. ➡ Their mission is to recycle discarded packaging in an environmentally sound, economically efficient, and socially responsible fashion. ➡ Their vision is to play an integral role in the packaging end-of-life by replacing the traditional ‘cradle-to-grave’ lifecycle of plastic products with continuous reuse and recycling. ➡ Learn more in our member feature on Merlin Plastics: https://lnkd.in/ezdS9TsM #Sustainability #RecyclingMat #CircularEconomy #Alberta #CircularEconomy #Merlin #Plastics #RCA #Member
