China offers unlikely glimmer of hope in fight against plastic pollution

The science is undeniable: plastic pollution harms people and the environment throughout its entire life cycle. We already know enough to justify urgent action. Ignoring the scientific evidence will only worsen plastics’ impacts on human health and the environment. @scientistscoa.bsky.social #INC5.2

Super-timely PlastChem work mapping #plastic chemicals has made the rigorous peer-review of @nature.com! It concludes removing known chemicals of concern, disclosing the chemical composition & simplifying the formulation of plastics can provide pathways towards safer plastics in a #PlasticsTreaty.
Over the past few years, our PlastChem team has worked tirelessly to map the chemical complexity of #plastics. Today, we publish the findings in @nature.com. We hope this evidence propels the development of safer plastics to protect human health and environment. 1/4

Red Cross federation ‘outraged’ at deaths of Red Crescent medics in Gaza
Secretary general says he is ‘heartbroken’ by the news, after Israeli military says it fired on ‘suspicious vehicles’ that were later found to include ambulances
The Red Cross federation voiced outrage on Sunday after eight medical colleagues were killed while on duty in the Gaza Strip.
The world’s largest humanitarian network said in a statement: “The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies [IFRC] is outraged at the deaths of eight medics from PRCS [Palestine Red Crescent Society], killed on duty in Gaza.” Continue reading...
