Airing this Sunday - Our story on the relentless and unnecessary consumption of plastic featuring Head of Oceans at Greenpeace UK Will McCallum @_willmccallum. Here are three simple things you can do to reduce plastic use: 🐳 1. Shop at farmer's markets or grocery stores that limit or completely cut out plastic wrapping and packaging around food. Also don't forget your reusable cloth bags! 🐳 2. Stop using plastic flossers, plastic cutlery, straws, disposable razors, travel size single-use products and single-use food containers. All of this stuff can't be recycled. Opt for reusable tupperware and cutlery and look for biodegradable floss instead. McCallum says go room to room in your house and look at what's plastic, if you really need it, and if so, if you can purchase or store it by itself or in glass or aluminum. 🐳 3. Stop buying plastic bottles. Transport your water, tea, coffee in a reusable cup. If you do use a plastic bottle, remember to empty, rinse it out and take the plastic film label off the bottle (the label is trash) and remove the bottle cap before you recycle. #plastic #saveouroceans #stopplasticpollution #stopplastic #endsingleuseplastic #pollution #waterpollution #greenpeace #savetheearth #viewpointsradio @greenpeace @greenpeaceuk @natgeo @nrdc_org @plasticpollutes
The expansive, unusual fires raging across the Amazon has lasting effects on our Earth's climate, ecosystems, biodiversity, water resources, pollution levels. The list goes on and on... . The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, covering 40 percent of South America. More than 20 percent of the world's oxygen is created by its trees and its landscape is home to millions of diverse species of animals, insects and plants, according to @natgeo. #savetheamazon 📷: Reuters, Bruno Kelly #savetheamazonforest #saveourforests #savetheearth #savetheplanet #wildfires #wildfireseason #viewpointsradio #saveearth #fires #climatechange #rainforest #southamerica
Whether you're liberal or conservative, black or white, an immigrant or born here, we can all agree that senseless shootings fueled by hate need to end.
