I feel like I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, but life in plastic, it's NOT fantastic.

#greenpeace #plastic
greenpeace.org Greenpeace International 🌍 @greenpeace.org · 15d
A garbage truck of plastic every second by 2040.

Microplastics in our lungs, blood and even brains.

This is what happens when production keeps rising unchecked.

The world need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic at the source and protects people, not petrochemical profits.
A Garbage Truck of Plastic Will Be Dumped Every Second by 2040 Unless We Act Now, Report Finds
An estimated 280 million metric tons of plastic waste will enter the air, water, soil, and human bodies every year by 2040, data shows

Santa Needs A New Bum - Book Review - whatbooknext.com
Santa's bottom has had too much work over the years. All that time spent in the sleigh has left it lumpy and bumpy and all out of shape. Santa needs a new bum!
