A family affair….

For chemist Kris Hansen, 3M was a family affair; her father was a creator of the company’s N95 face masks.

A 2024 Science Review provides an overview of this research and the progress made in understanding microplastics.

Something needs to be done, looks like it partially is up to us…

The latest session of the United Nations’ intergovernmental negotiating committee on plastic pollution recently ended — without an agreement to end plastic pollution or clear plans for moving forward.

That leaves oceans, wildlife, and people vulnerable to surging plastic production and pollution. But it happened because countries serious about solving the plastic crisis resisted calls for a weak treaty that doesn’t address the core problem: exponential plastic production.

“This isn’t the result we fought for, but there's still a chance for a strong treaty in the future,” said Center attorney David Derrick, who attended the session in Geneva.

The must read article…

Plastic pollution is a "grave, growing and under-recognized danger" to health that is costing the world at least $1.5 trillion a year, a report in the Lancet medical journals warns

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: 5 Gyres Ambassador Zara Zúniga led a study in Roatan, Honduras documenting 3,417 litter items - nearly 99% plastic - across 500 square meters of mangrove forest. A deceased crocodile found nearby had 62 plastic items in its gut, underscoring the serious threat to wildlife.

The findings reveal how mangroves act as long-term sinks for plastic waste and the risks to surrounding fauna, highlighting the urgent need for stronger regional action and a hashtag to stop pollution at the source.
