🌊 One year ago today, the awe-inspiring #TheBlueParadox exhibit on the ocean plastic waste crisis was unveiled at Griffin Museum of Science and Industry. Since then, nearly 300k visitors and stakeholders have experienced the exhibit, with 200K+ pledging to take action, such as encouraging government leaders to implement federal recycling initiatives, getting involved in local efforts or taking personal steps to reduce plastic waste. Together with Conservation International, we are proud to highlight this critical issue and the actions needed to solve it. It’s going to take all of us—governments, businesses, and consumers—working together to turn the tide. Explore ways you can get involved: https://bit.ly/4cMaBHt

CharityPhilippines.org proudly joins Earth Day today, a globally observed annual event held on April 22nd, aimed at showcasing solidarity for environmental conservation. This year, Earth Day centers on the theme of plastic pollution. According to a report by earthday.org, “Evidence is mounting that plastics, microplastics and their additive chemicals pose potentially serious health risks to humans, with babies and infants being especially vulnerable.” Today’s celebration calls for the 60% reduction of plastic production by 2040. For a deeper understanding of the detrimental effects of plastics to human health, explore https://lnkd.in/e9NBjYcJ. Let this Earth Day remind us all of the importance of taking care of our planet and to preserve its natural resources for the coming generations. Today, let’s pause to reflect on our environmental footprint and pledge to minimize our use of plastic! #CharityPhilippinesOrg #GoodDeedForPinoysInNeed

Effective plastic recycling requires more than just proper waste management systems—it demands active community involvement. Mobilizing communities for plastic recycling initiatives involves fostering a collective sense of responsibility and providing education on the impact of plastic waste. Engaging local residents through workshops, recycling drives, and awareness campaigns can significantly enhance recycling rates and reduce plastic pollution. By partnering with schools, businesses, and local organizations, communities can create a network of support that promotes recycling and sustainable practices. Innovative programs, like neighborhood clean-up events and recycling incentive schemes, can further encourage participation. When communities come together to address plastic waste, they not only contribute to environmental preservation but also build a shared commitment to a more sustainable future. #Plasticrecycling #Wastemanagement #Sutainability #RACE #raceconferences

It's all in the details. 🔍 Plastic Reef by Fedrico Uribe is more than an exhibit, it's a call to action. When taking a closer look, what appears to be a vibrant underwater ecosystem is thousands of carefully arranged pieces of post-consumer plastic. An estimated 33 billion pounds of plastic end up in our oceans each year, injuring and killing sea turtles and other marine life. LMC continues to advocate for the protection of our oceans, recovering nearly 5,000 pounds of trash from the South Florida coastline.

This Sunday is World Refill Day! 🌿 At #TeamJPC, we are dedicated to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We join the global movement to reduce single-use plastic waste and promote the importance of refilling and reusing. Did you know that single-use plastic bottles can take up to 450 years to decompose? By choosing to refill, we can significantly cut down on the waste that ends up in our landfills and oceans, helping to protect our planet. 🌍 Join us in celebrating World Refill Day by making a pledge to refill, reuse, and recycle. Together, we can make a significant impact on our environment and pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future. ♻️ #WorldRefillDay #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #JPCbySamsic #RefillNotLandfill #EnvironmentalResponsibility

The "Recycle OECS Model" ♻️ is structured around five pillars: technical, economic, financing mechanisms, institutional, and regulatory and communication. Pillar one—the technical pillar—aims to reduce the amount of plastic waste reaching landfills through recycling and reusing plastic. ♻️ This model seeks to position plastic as a resource within the circular economy. The Recycle OECS Project is funded by the European Union through the AFD - Agence Française de Développement. As the OECS tackles plastic pollution with its Recycle OECS initiative, the OECS Commission joins the global community in observing Earth Day, themed 'Planet vs. Plastics. #RecycleOECS #Earthday2024 🌎
