"More plastic is being produced, and an even smaller percentage of it is being recycled," says Lisa Ramsden, senior plastic campaigner for Greenpeace USA.

I joined the growing movement demanding that governments make polluters finally pay for what they've broken. Sign the pact, record your story, take a stand. engage.us.greenpeace.org/LCQ…

#BREAKING: @CocaColaCo’s plastic use is expected to grow to 9.1 BILLION pounds per year by 2030, according to Oceana’s latest report. As the #1 plastic polluter in the world, Coca-Cola needs to change its ways & address its plastic problem now.

Timely reminder to delegates negotiating the #PlasticsTreaty next week that recycling has never been the answer to plastic pollution, no matter how much Exxon and Dow spend on greenwashing scams. Reducing production is fundamental. See you at #INC5.

🔍 The 2024 Retailer Report Card evaluated the largest retailers in the U.S. and Canada and found that most are failing to protect customers from toxic chemicals and #plastics in their products and packaging. The average grade? D+.

Carbon capture instead of stopping oil & gas
EVs instead of reducing car dependency
Ocean cleanups instead of stopping plastic production
Planting trees instead of ending deforestation
Ever notice how all the fashionable 'solutions' are all aimed at not changing anything?

We have put so much plastic into the environment that microplastics are now in dolphins' breath.
(ICYMI, they are also in ours.)

Prediction: after Helene and Milton, this is going to be in no small part a climate election.
#HarrisWalz2024 is not perfect on this issue, but they are a hundred times better than #TrumpVance2024

My beloved organization, @greenpeaceusa, is being sued for $300 million by @EnergyTransfer. This is a threat to the entire climate movement and we will not be silenced by big oil. #ImWithGreenpeace

Kudos to California @AGRobBonta for suing ExxonMobil for decades of lying about plastic. Government officials at all levels have failed to hold petrochem companies accountable for decades, allowing the human, environmental and financial costs to spiral out of control. No longer.
#BREAKING: We’re suing ExxonMobil for a decades-long campaign of deception that perpetuated the plastic waste and pollution crisis.
ExxonMobil peddled #RecyclingLies to further its recording-breaking profits at the expense of our planet.
We’re holding ExxonMobil accountable.

An @EnergyTransfer pipeline in Texas has exploded. Neighboring homes and businesses have been evacuated. Our thoughts are with everyone affected.
Remember: @EnergyTransfer is the same company trying to shut us down with a $300 million lawsuit.
This is why we won't be silent.
JUST IN: The pipeline is owned by Energy Transfer. In a statement, the company said a 20-inch natural gas liquids line is the source.
Right now, emergency crews are actively working to control the massive pipeline fire in Texas and save the nearby homes.
The fire started just before 10 a.m. along Spencer Highway near La Porte, TX. The La Porte Office of Emergency Management says evacuations are currently underway.
