(1/6) Plastic fashion has us in its oily grip. And it’s harming our health and our environment. We can choose not to buy cheaply-produced synthetic clothing, but real impact requires systemic change. We urgently need action from our politicians and industry leaders❗️

Africa's highest court is about to hear something historic. For the first time, we're arguing that the climate crisis is a violation of African people's rights and that polluters must be held accountable under African law. Add your name: act.gp/4lCrlH4

Every year, millions of tonnes of used clothing are shipped from developed nations to the Global South - most of it synthetic or fossil-fuel-based! #FastFashion #TextileWaste #BreakFreeFromPlastic #WasteTrade #WasteColonialism [1/3]

For decades, the plastics industry has framed the way we think about plastics to protect its own legitimacy and deflect responsibility for the crisis it created. A new brief exposes the disinformation tactics behind the plastics crisis — and what they mean for policymaking. READ: bit.ly/4eySgAq

Plastic pollution is the predictable result of a decades-long industry disinformation campaign. New brief: The Plastics Plot maps the nine frames the plastics industry uses to delay action and shape the terms of debate. 🧵

Deep Pockets, Dirty Profits 💸☠️ The global financial system plays a pivotal role in funding the petrochemical industry — the fossil fuel engine behind plastics, fertilizers, and synthetic fibers. Our new brief exposes the scale of these systemic investments. 👇🧵

1/8 🌊 UN Welttag des Ozeans 2026 Eine kleine Anmerkung vorweg: Während die Vereinten Nationen vom „Tag der Ozeane“ sprechen, verwenden wir bei Ocean. Now! bewusst den Singular. Denn auch wenn wir verschiedene Ozeanbecken benennen, bilden sie gemeinsam einen einzigen, miteinander verbundenen Ozean.

In recent months, you may have heard about the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz – and its consequences for global trade and oil prices. But you probably haven’t heard about its impact on the dugongs that call these waters home. (1)

What #Nestlé & #Danone are feeding to babies will shock you. A Greenpeace International report found microplastics in the plastic-pouched baby food of 2 popular Nestlé & Danone brands, Gerber & Happy Baby Organics. ❌ No amount of #microplastics should be in a CHILD'S FOOD. Share if you agree.

🧥⚠️ Because the EU is shifting its baseline, the promises of 2022 are slipping away. But it's not just "red tape" – it's the clothes we wear and the water we drink. The EU has the science to protect us. We just need them to return to the high standards of 2022 👀 #EUPolitics #HumanHealth

🕵️‍♂️ Is "simplification" just a fancy word for "deregulation"? Today, we’re looking at the EU’s 2025/2026 "Omnibus" packages. These are the tools currently shifting our baselines right under our noses. #ShiftingBaselines #EUPolitics #HumanHealth #REACHRegulation #ToxicFreeEurope

🤔 Do you remember when a "toxic-free future" was a political commitment? In 2022, the EU’s baselines were set to protect us, not industry profits! 🚨But as we move toward 2026, those goalposts are being moved under the guise of "simplification." #HumanHealth #ShiftingBaselines #EUPolitics

Unlawful delays by the @ec.europa.eu have already contributed to an estimated 100,000 tonnes of serious chemical pollution contaminating food systems, drinking water, homes, and more, according to a new report by the @eeb.org and @clientearth.bsky.social eeb.org/en/press-rel...

CIEL’s @dlevialvares.bsky.social joined @france24.com to discuss decoupling our economies from fossil fuels. Key takeaways from Santa Marta: 🌱 Moving to concrete action/roadmaps. 🌾 Decoupling food from fossil gas/fertilizers. 🔄 Changing systems (like food) over simple swaps. Watch: bit.ly/42FX3KI

🪤 The Baseline Trap: When the EU shifts from promising a "toxin-free environment" to just "managing risk," our collective memory of higher ambition fades. We start to accept a slightly more polluted and more toxic world as the "new normal." 🤯 #ShiftingBaselines #EUPolitics #PlasticPollution #Health

1/4 🌊 DER OZEAN BRAUCHT RECHTE – NICHT NUR SCHUTZ 🐋 Weltweit wächst eine Bewegung, die den Ozean neu denkt: Nicht als Ressource. Sondern als Rechtsträger. Warum das entscheidend ist? Weil „Schutz“ oft nicht reicht. Weil Ausbeutung weiterhin legal bleibt. Weil der Ozean keine Stimme hat.

💪 This year, we’re working towards regulation of emissions from synthetic fashion fibers and related chemicals. We're applying our asks to the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). It’s a developing EU law that requires products be more durable, repairable, and resource-efficient 🌱
