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

None of my clothes have plastic in them. I mostly live plastic free and every time I can choose, I choose without plastic.

Why are we using this wonder material for fucking spoons?

It’s ironic, isn’t it that Donald Trump is going to be the most significant eco warrior.

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

The majority of which is in plastic containers. It's clearly one huge scam being operated by the supermarkets among others...

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

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.

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

1
I don't care about how much $ GP has; I care about them offering BS posts instead of plans

2
you think a salary of close to a million dollars is ok ?
that is, IMO, a yes or no question

3
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

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.

Hi,
your question confuses me a lot:
clothes - mine are made from cotton, you might have heard about it?
mice - you might want to collect and weigh all the plastic you bring home and discard (food, …) during the lifetime of one computer mouse/keyboard pair.
Reducing plastic use / mis-use does not mean you have to live in cave tomorrow!

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/521541501

the 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 !!!!!!!!!

We are all in this mess together.

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

Sometimes people don't make that connection.

The equation of the longevity of each type of plastic is basically built directly from the oil and gas production process.

There are some special formulations that have no equal but, you can't get oil and gas without a giant heap of trash. Either now or later after being used a few times first.

OIL + GAS

But in that case it is not only ourselves choice to reduce plastic or fossil fuel production so far. Therefore the elected governments should care about ALL people and not only themselves.

That's the reason for plastic production. I am really tired of blaming others for our own bad. It is in our own hands!

We demand that governments commit to a strong Global Plastics Treaty that will cut plastic production by at least 75% by 2040 to stay below 1.5 C and end single-use plastic.
