Important information about the plastics crisis plaguing our oceans:
 |
 | | |  | | Kathleen — we're in a full-blown plastics crisis on a global scale. Thanks to its toxicity, continuous production, and inevitable destination in places it's not supposed to be — like our oceans, our animals, and even our own bodies — plastics are contributing to the destruction of our Earth. | | But due to corporate greenwashers falsely promoting plastic recycling as a solution, even some of the most passionate grassroots climate champions are unaware of the truth about the plastics life-cycle, or how we can stop it. | | How much do you know about this plastics emergency? Take the quiz to see if you can decipher the truth from the piles of plastic lies! | | | | Kathleen, we'll never see the end of the plastics plague if recycling continues to be pushed as the end-all, be-all solution to plastics pollution. | | The truth is, only 9% of plastics produced globally have ever been recycled, and most recycling processes release highly toxic, volatile chemicals which pose deadly health risks for those working in or living near such facilities — but you won't hear about it from companies at the heart of the problem, like Pepsico, Unilever, and Coca-Cola. | | And with catastrophic consequences on our earth's ability to withstand the climate crisis, it's critical that we expose their greenwashed myths around recycling and spread the truth about the severity of the problem — before we reach the point of no return. | | So please, Kathleen — take the plastics pop quiz to get the facts about this global crisis and the solutions we must fight for to stop it from killing us and our precious planet. | | | | Thanks for fighting alongside us,
