Happy World Environment Day! 🌎 At RAIN Pure Mountain Spring Water, we’ve made it our mission to help end our unnecessary and harmful dependence on #singleuse #plastics. We still understand the convenience of bottled water; that’s why we provide a #sustainable #aluminum #packaging option that’s better for the environment and for you. 💙💧 Our founder Mark Majkrzak says, "Nearly 1 million plastic bottles are used every minute of every day, and only 9% of those are ever recycled. Plastics are a necessary product in our modern lives, but as a society we have not done enough to manage the waste produced. Our waterways, oceans and landfills are overrun with plastic pollution. An adjustment here requires effort from all of us, and should not come at a sacrifice to convenience. Regardless of a person's personal opinion on environmental issues, we can agree that garbage should not be in the ocean, lakes and streams.” #notplastic #worldenvironmentday

#PlasticWaste 🗓️ Each July sees a global movement to be part of the solution to plastic waste and pollution. 🌏 Almost one-third of the world’s plastic packaging ends up in nature as litter, while 54% ends up in landfills or incinerators. But, does it have to be this way? Absolutely not! TOMRA’s reverse vending solutions collect more than 46 billion drink containers across the globe each year for reuse and recycling. Sounds like a lot, but it’s actually less than 3% of all drink containers sold annually! We hope to bring the remaining 97% into the loop. ♾️ More containers returned for recycling means fewer leave the loop as litter or landfill. And, on the flipside, fewer scarce resources need to be extracted to go into the loop to produce new containers. 👍 Everyone has a part to play in preventing plastic pollution; stay tuned as we explore some of those roles this month! It takes all stakeholders working together – from business to consumers to governments – to make a better way forward. 🚀 #PlasticPollution #CleanLoopRecycling

https://lnkd.in/d6VpMK-M Time to stop plastic. 1. Reduce plastic usage: One of the most effective ways to stop plastic pollution in the ocean is to reduce the amount of plastic we use in our daily lives. Avoid single-use plastics such as plastic bags, water bottles, and straws. Instead, opt for reusable alternatives like cloth bags, stainless steel water bottles, and biodegradable straws. 2. Proper waste disposal: Ensure that all the plastic waste is disposed of properly, in designated recycling bins. This prevents plastic from ending up in landfills or finding its way into the ocean. Educate yourself and others about local recycling programs and take advantage of them. 3. Support and encourage recycling initiatives: Advocate for stronger recycling policies and support organizations that work towards improving recycling and waste management systems. This includes supporting companies that use recycled materials and encouraging others to do the same. 4. Beach cleanups: Organize or participate in local beach cleanups to remove plastic debris that may have washed ashore. These cleanups help prevent plastics from entering the ocean and also raise awareness about the issue. 5. Promote sustainable fishing practices: Support sustainable fishing practices that minimize the use of plastic gear and other harmful materials that can end up in the ocean. This can help reduce the overall plastic pollution caused by the fishing industry. 6. Support policies and legislation: Advocate for policies and legislation that ban or regulate single-use plastics, especially those which are most commonly found in the ocean, such as plastic bags and microbeads. Encourage your local representatives and government to adopt such measures. 7. Spread awareness: Educate others about the impact of plastic pollution on the oceans and its inhabitants. Share information and facts through social media, presentations, or events to raise awareness about the issue and inspire others to take action. 8. Support and fund research: Contribute to organizations and researchers who are actively studying and finding solutions to plastic pollution in the ocean. Supporting scientific research helps to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to this global problem. Remember, collective action is key. Encourage your friends, family, and community to join in these efforts to reduce and stop plastic pollution in the ocean. #marineconservation Arivo Fz LLC Arivo.online

The Love Hate Relationships with PLASTIC! Plastics have become a convenient necessity in our everyday lives. After all, they’re made to be durable and last longer than a lifetime. But unfortunately, most plastic products are made to be used just once before they’re thrown away. This is costing our environment. Marine life can also suffocate or starve when they mistake plastics for food 🐢 Today's SOS (Save Our Seas) that aims to enlighten, inspire, and mobilize individuals and communities to take collective action against plastic pollution and start recycling everything you can ♻💚 #MyCleanBeach #WiraPlastik #ZeroWaste #SmallActionsBigImpact #SaveOurSeas #SustainableFuture

According to a United Nations report, the world produces about 400 million metric tons of plastic waste each year. Of this amount, between 75 and 199 million tons finds its way into marine food chains and immense garbage patches in our Ocean. In order to stop the flow of plastic waste ending up in the environment, systematic change needs to be implemented. By establishing a permanent presence underwater, PROTEUS™ is poised to enable research to combat plastic pollution and preserve our oceans for future generations. Check out the feature below to dive deeper into how our planet is suffocating under the weight of plastic, and to explore eleven actionable steps we can all take to #BeatPlasticPollution for #CleanSeas: https://lnkd.in/g6CvwVrJ

When we think of a plastic bottle cap, it might seem small and unimportant. "It's just a tiny piece of plastic," we tell ourselves. However, this little cap has a surprisingly significant big impact. Every day, millions of these caps are used and discarded. They are made from strong plastics like HDPE or PP, designed to be durable. Bottle caps are a common type of litter, often ending up in oceans where they can harm marine life. Fish and other sea creatures might mistake them for food, leading to serious health issues or even death. If not recycled, bottle caps can take hundreds of years to decompose. This contributes to long-term environmental pollution, affecting ecosystems for generations. So, next time you think, "It's just a small bottle cap," remember that even the smallest items can have a big impact. Recycling and proper disposal are crucial steps. #Sustainability #Recycling #PlasticPollution #EnvironmentalAwareness #MarineConservation #EcoFriendly #CircularEconomy #SustainableLiving #WasteManagement #PlasticFreeOceans

#International #Plastic Bag Free Day 2024: Date, History, Significance & Activity International Plastic Bag Free Day is celebrated on #July 3 every year. The day is dedicated to promoting a zero-tolerance approach to plastic pollution and the importance of recycling and composting plastic waste. #Plastic bags are a convenient and widely used part of our everyday lives, but they can also be a major source of environmental pollution. They can take up to 500 years to disintegrate, so they can accumulate in soil and water, causing harm to ecosystems and marine life. They can also clog drainage systems, disrupt recycling processes, and contaminate waterways. Let's know about the history, significance and theme for International Plastic Bag Free Day 2024: INTERNATIONAL PLASTIC BAG FREE DAY 2024: SIGNIFICANCE Today, International Plastic Bag Free Day is celebrated by nearly 1,500 organizations as part of the Break Free from Plastic Movement. The movement is committed to finding solutions to the plastic pollution crisis and making the planet safer for humans, the environment, and wildlife.
