Ocean Conservancy’s Post

There isn’t a simple solution or a “magic pill” to solving the plastics crisis. But my colleagues at Ocean Conservancy and I are hard at work on each of these three important steps—from the local, state and federal levels to the international stage—so we can protect our marine environment from becoming a plastic ocean.

Conversion of plastic and tire waste into an energy carrier (e.g. heating oil, diesel, grill coke, syngas) To date, I have been approached several times, but they expected 100% funding from me without investing their money. For example, in oil-rich countries like Nigeria, the government has to fund projects if they don't want their country to be covered in waste. It is a social advantage if small villages are supplied with locally produced energy, thus creating local jobs for the local energy-using population from waste collected locally, small equipment for micro power plants can also be manufactured locally Our innovation in environmental protection is the use of microwave technology The main advantage of steam plasma reactors is that there is no nitrogen in the microwave steam plasma., so there is no nitrogen oxides, minimum carbon dioxid and odorless the flue gas. The hydrogen introduced into the reaction space with the steam plasma slows down the reactions of gaseous sulphur, phosphorus and free chlorine formation to remove in the gas purification unit. When reacting with chlorine-containing substances, water vapor plasma does not produce dioxin, which is one of the most toxic substances. www.gumienergia.hu

The harmful effects of plastic pollution in the ocean are widespread and long-lasting, with impacts on marine ecosystems that could last for centuries. Stopping plastic emissions alone will not be enough to solve this complex problem, and we must also work towards systemic changes in plastic production, consumption, and management. Let's all do our part to keep our oceans clean! #microplastics #oceanpollution  

🎉 OCEAN VICTORY: The U.S. will support provisions in the Global Plastics Treaty to reduce plastic production! 👏 As one of the largest producers of plastics in the world, the U.S. has the opportunity and responsibility to help tackle the plastic pollution crisis head-on by making less plastic. The Ocean Conservancy team, alongside many others, has worked for months to ensure the #PlasticsTreaty protects our ocean and communities from the devastating impacts of the plastic pollution crisis. We look forward to seeing the U.S. carry this momentum into the upcoming negotiations in Busan to ensure our ocean and our communities are protected from plastic pollution for generations to come. 📉 FULL STATEMENT: https://ow.ly/ZCpo50SYI2Z . . . . . . #plasticpollution #marinedebris #trashfreeseas #pollution #oceanplastic #natureconservation #oceanconservation #marineconservation #plasticstreaty #globalplasticstreaty #oceanwins

Take Action for Earth Day: Fight Plastic Pollution! This Earth Day (April 22nd), the world unites to tackle the growing threat of plastic pollution. As negotiations for a global Plastics Treaty commence in Ottawa on April 23rd, decision-makers need to hear your voice! From its fossil fuel origins to its toxic legacy, plastic harms every aspect of our environment. Frontline communities near production and waste facilities suffer the most. Let's make a difference. Sign our petition and stand strong against plastic pollution. Together, we can build a cleaner, healthier future for all. https://lnkd.in/eyePEmRj #PlanetvsPlastics #EndPlastics #EarthDay #EndPlasticPollution #GlobalPlasticsTreaty

Earth Day 2024 In honor of #EarthDay, I'm proud to support EARTHDAY.ORG global initiative, #PlanetVsPlastics. Their ambitious goals of achieving a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040 and eliminating single-use plastics by 2030 are crucial steps towards a healthier planet.

The issue of plastic pollution has become increasingly urgent. A look to our oceans makes this abundantly clear. There are five massive patches of plastic waste amassing in our oceans, each larger than the state of Texas. These floating islands highlight the environmental damage of conventional plastics and harm marine life and ecosystems. It's time to start addressing this environmental catastrophe with innovation. Our sustainable material has a holistic end-of-life, so whether it ends up in industrial composting or in the ocean Solutum film leaves no impact on our planet. Together, we can make plastic islands obsolete. 🌍💚#Sustainability #PlasticPollution #Solutum

Attention all Ocean Defenders! Did you know that every year, millions of tons of plastic end up in our oceans, threatening marine life and ecosystems? But the good news is, we can all be part of the solution! 💪? Dive into our latest infographic from US NOAA to learn about the journey of plastics to our oceans and the impacts they have. Together, we can change the tide on plastic pollution. Let's make waves by saying no to single-use plastics and yes to sustainable alternatives! ♻️ #OceanConservation #PlasticFreeSeas #SustainableLiving https://lnkd.in/dwU9-8GE

🌊 Protect Our Oceans: Combat Plastic Pollution 🌍 Did you know that over 8 million metric tons of plastic waste enter our oceans every year? By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea by weight. The consequences for marine life and our planet are dire. 🌊🐠 At The Earth Matters Brigade, we believe in the power of collective action to create change. Reducing single-use plastics is a crucial step towards preserving our oceans and ensuring a sustainable future for all. Join us in taking a stand against plastic pollution. Together, we can make a difference. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #PlasticFreeOceans #MarineLife #TheEarthMattersBrigade #EcoFriendly #EnvironmentalProtection

Plastic pollution affects every corner of our planet, and the numbers in these slides remind us that our beaches are still littered with plastic. 💡 While cleanup efforts help, the real solution lies in stopping plastic waste at its source. 💪 That’s why the UN’s global plastics treaty is so important. This legally binding international agreement aims to tackle plastic pollution through global cooperation and stringent regulations. It’s the comprehensive approach we need - not just to keep our beaches clean, but to protect our entire environment from the harmful effects of plastic. You can read more about our recommendations for this treaty here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsxPnh5c At TOMRA, we’re committed to making a difference, not just by advocating for stronger policies, but by actively participating in local cleanup efforts. Earlier this month, we invited you to join us, and we’d love to hear how it’s going! Share your progress by tagging us in your photos. 📷 Together, we can push for the changes needed to stop plastic pollution at its source and create a cleaner, healthier world. #PreventPlasticPollution #CircularEconomy #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #CleanUp #CleanUpMonth #CleanUpDay
