🌎 #COP30 : Quels liens entre les #plastiques et le changement climatique ?
📄 Nouvel article dans The Conversation France

COP30 : Comment éviter que le plastique ne devienne le canot de sauvetage de l’industrie pétrolière ?
Recyclage ou pas, le plastique reste un piège : il émet des gaz à effet de serre et renforce notre dépendance au pétrole. Un enjeu clé de la COP30 qui va s’ouvrir au Brésil le 10 novembre.

Glad this finally comes to light! UNEP and its Exec Director Inger Anderson have played a questionable role throughout the INC process but even the prospect of them staging a coup against the Chair is deeply concerning. #plasticstreaty

For the last several months, I've been digging through endless scientific literature on what happens when pregnant mothers are exposed to plastic chemicals in their food, water, and everyday household products.

The result is this story.

I hope you'll take the time to read.

A new study in Nature estimates there are 27 million metric tons of nanoplastic in the North Atlantic Ocean alone, and that these invisible plastic particles make up a greater fraction of marine plastic pollution than micro or macroplastics. @grist.org grist.org/science/ocea...
