Concentrating on ocean plastic waste is crucial because of its immediate and tangible impact on marine life, ecosystems, and human health. Plastic pollution in the oceans poses a direct threat to marine animals through ingestion and entanglement, leading to injury and death. Furthermore, plastics break down into microplastics, which can enter the food chain and potentially harm human health. Addressing ocean plastic waste provides more immediate benefits in terms of protecting biodiversity, preserving ecosystems, and safeguarding human health. By focusing on reducing and cleaning up ocean plastic waste, we can make a noticeable difference in the health of our oceans and the well-being of all life that depends on them. oceanintegrity.org

We can realize that the percentage of plastic usage continues to increase every year, while public awareness regarding plastic waste processing has not shown a corresponding increase. In fact, plastic waste has a significant negative impact on our environment, such as soil and water pollution, air pollution, flooding, and posing threats to the survival of various species. In response to these challenges, Badjatex, in collaboration with the local community, has initiated the Garbage Bank program. This program aims to transform conventional waste processing systems into economically valuable practices, thus fostering a healthier environment for future generations. Through these efforts, we come to realize that small steps taken today can lead to significant impacts in the future. Join us in making a positive environmental impact—take part in your green action! #Badjatex #BraveGeneration #SustainableDenim

16th June. World Refill Day on 16th June is a global public awareness campaign to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste.

Today, the 28th of July, marks the Plastic Overshoot Day, when the amount of plastic waste surpasses the capability of waste management systems to effectively manage it. A report by EA - Earth Action outlines how each country contributes to the global problem and how there is a clear imbalance between those countries. Rather than pointing fingers, this day should allow us to reflect on the extent of the problem and work towards sustainable solutions. Such as improving our waste management systems, reducing our plastic consumption and advocating for policy changes.

Do you know how many metric tons of plastic waste enters our oceans every year? 👇 Over 8 million! That’s equivalent to dumping one garbage truck of plastic into the ocean every minute! This distressing reality reveals the urgent problem of plastic pollution, with far-reaching ecological, economic and social consequences. From discarded packaging to single-use items, this deluge of waste devastates rivers, oceans and coastlines worldwide. But there's hope! By raising awareness and advocating for #sustainable alternatives, we have the power to protect our oceans from the suffocating grip of marine litter. Learn more about the consequences of plastic pollution in our seas – and what you can do to help – in our eye-opening article. https://lnkd.in/ejB49XHP

🌊 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
