For centuries, #ZeroWaste was the norm; 🫙🍶 until corporations replaced it with single-use plastic. 🤦

Communities have shown that zero-waste systems STILL work. Now corporations and governments must catch up.

The real solution? Reducing the production of unnecessary plastic and scaling up reuse and refill systems.

This International Day of Clean Energy, 💧☀️🍃 here's a reminder that waste-to-energy is NOT CLEAN ENERGY. 🏭🔥

Waste-to-energy incineration is promoted as a solution to plastic pollution. It is a FALSE solution.

Once upon a time, Coca-Cola set the standard for refillable glass bottles. But today, they’re the top corporate plastic polluter in the world according to Brand Audit reports.

Send this to @CocaCola to urge them to Bring Back Refill.

Interesting to see the Guardian's @dpcarrington.bsky.social weighing in on this. My take, as someone covering microplastics heavily for the past year (and currently sitting at a 200+ person conference with many of the scientists in question):

‘A bombshell’: doubt cast on discovery of microplastics throughout human body
Exclusive: Some scientists say many detections are most likely error, with one high-profile study called a ‘joke’

NO TO SINGLE-USE! 🥤🥡

Single-use items represent a massive design failure, creating a legacy of pollution that recycling alone cannot fix.

#ChooseReuse! What's one thing you do to avoid single-use? Share it in the comments!

If we can do it, corporations also can! Dear corporations, time to switch to reuse and refill systems! ✊🏽⚡️

Hope is rooted in collective action. It’s built by communities who show up, challenge polluters, and push for systemic change. See you again in 2026! ✊🏽⚡️💚
