Starbucks serves more than 5M drinks daily in plastic cups creating massive amounts of waste, ugh! The CBS investigation I was part of last December had impact; Starbucks announced they are PHASING OUT plastic cups for cold drinks!!

Btw, @calrecycle.bsky.social still has not sent out non-compliance letters to foam polluters in CA! 100s of millions of dollars in violation fines NOT collected. Our tax dollars at work! 😣 We must strongly enforce the laws taxpayers are paying for!

Hey Blueskyers! I know we all have a lot going on, but I would really appreciate you sharing this post; it's a project I have been leading for months.
It should NOT be this difficult to get an environmental law enforced in California, yet here we are.
Thanks for sharing!!

6 months ago, California banned the sale of polystyrene (plastic foam), yet plastic foam is still being sold and Gov. Newsom is NOT putting a stop to it. California must enforce the law!
Call and email @calrecycle.bsky.social and @governor.ca.gov. Demand they stop the sale of plastic foam!

The evidence is clear - we eat and breathe plastic every day. When will we say we've had enough & push our electeds & businesses for real change? That includes making changes ourselves - accept that plastic is NOT and will NEVER be a "circular" solution...recycling is a lie.

The consequences from plastic waste impacts us all, even our unborn babies.
The time is NOW to 🛑 using unnecessary single use plastic and demand our electeds create and pass laws to remove toxic chemicals AND reduce single use plastic packaging and food service products!

Microplastics have now been found in the human heart, lungs, brain, testes, placentas, and breastmilk. Babies are being born pre-polluted by plastics. We MUST reduce the huge amount of plastic being produced and put into the marketplace and our bodies.

“We actually need to stop pollution at the source, which means cutting back on the production and use of plastic from the get-go,” says Beyond Plastics communications director Melissa Valliant. An easy way for consumers to help: Swap single-use plastic utensils for reusable ones. #plasticpollution

Foam was banned in the state of CA in January; but it is NOT being enforced. I worked with the LA Times to expose the violators. Why isn't our state agency, CalRecycle, enforcing this ban?!
