We can’t recycle our way out of the plastic crisis.

as i am just some internet rando, it isn't my job to come up with a plan - that is a job for experts, which, I would assume, greenpeace is in contact with.
Like every large non profit (charity) in teh US, GP has to file a tax return called a form 990
you can see that here
https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/521541501the latest data is for 2024; GP in the US raised 38 million dollars in revenue !!
maybe if there senior employees werent so grotesquely over paid, they would have money to devise a plan
In the US, the CEO made almost a million dollars !!!!!!!!!@failedLyndonLaRouchite in fact, a lot of Greenpeace's funds come from Internet randos - it's not like big corps are sending lots of money. But, OK, I get that you don't think Greenpeace is doing the job. Are you donating to another non-profit? Because it sounds to me like you are doing nothing at all.

I don't care about how much $ GP has; I care about them offering BS posts instead of plans2
you think a salary of close to a million dollars is ok ?
that is, IMO, a yes or no question3
I do do a lot; most of my charitable donations go to places that do things like deliver mosquito nets to Africa, or Vitamin A to poor kids
so piss off with your assumptions -
@greenpeace you may choose plastic bottle or glas bottle, tomatoes in plastic folie or loose ones, etc, etc. Many goods have a plastic free option - and look what's in their shopping baskets... That's the reason for plastic production. I am really tired of blaming others for our own bad. It is in our own hands!

I miss the little green open-topped square paper containers berries used to come in back in the 1970s. -

As long as companies keep ramping up plastic production, recycling will always be too little, too late.

️@greenpeace We've long had options to branch off of more #FossilFuels based products, including algae tech. The problem has long been 'pure' #Capitalism #greed
Replace #FossilFuels #TechBros #Broligarchy with #sustainability #scientists

and you hear about developments that they are making plastic out of plants or whatever; wonder if all that should be classified as 'plastic' !!! -

so piss off with your assumptions@failedLyndonLaRouchite sorry for making assumptions. For your part, you could stop assuming that 1 single toot is the whole of Greenpeace's plastics plan. They do, in fact, have more, and it isn't hard to find.

a nice, polite reply
Given that the CEO is paid almost a million dollars, I think he or she cold make sure that future posts include a link to their plans to reduce plastic use
I myself, maybe due to my background (PhD, biochem) think that a large part of any real world solution is biodegradable plastic, which, as you may know, a lot of people are working hard on

: Famous paintings reimagined by artist Juha Hansen in collaboration with Greenpeace, no AI used ️@greenpeace What really gets me is that you have to pay 10 pence for a plastic bag, that you store all of the products you just bought. The majority of which is in plastic containers. It's clearly one huge scam being operated by the supermarkets among others...

That war in Iran is choking off the feed stock of resins that go into every plastic product.

what on earth does this childish performative post really mean ?
c'mon greenpeace, lay out a plan: what happens if we keep plastic production at the same level
how do we make mice and keyboards and what do we use for clothes ?
c'mon, don't be performative, give us a plan@failedLyndonLaRouchite @greenpeace There is an option for these already available. None of my clothes have plastic in them. I mostly live plastic free and every time I can choose, I choose without plastic.
