On the day we published a piece including the question "Why is a global treaty to curb plastic pollution needed?", a company I have no dealings with sent me a small paper flyer promoting their recycling initiative. It was inside in two different plastic envelopes.
Where are the plastics treaty talks at now? What are the big disagreements? Will there be a deal in South Korea?

Everyone - it's Ghost Shark Day today! 👻🦈🥳
Frankly, the timing of the Day this year is spot on. Not only is it Halloween tomorrow, but just last month, a new species of ghost shark, aka chimaera, was identified by researchers!

ALT 30 October 2024 14:38 The Australasian Narrow-nosed Spookfish, Harriotta avia, against a white background. Dr Brit Finucci, who described the species gave a wonderful description, which I'll share here: “Harriotta avia is unique due to its elongated, narrow and depressed snout; long, slender trunk; large eyes; and very long, broad pectoral fins. It is a lovely chocolate brown colour. "

Whalers were relentless too. In April 1927, 229 fin whales were killed in a single cell. Imagine even seeing 229 fin whales in a month. You have to wonder how many more were around for them to catch that many. 3/n
