Despite leading the world in plastic pollution for 6 years in a row, @cocacolagb.bsky.social just quietly reneged on its promise to deliver 25% of its drinks in reusable bottles by 2030. UNACCEPTABLE! Contact the company's head of sustainability: bit.ly/coca-cola-re... #toxicplastic #planetorplastic

New research links #phthalates to tumor growth and reduced treatment success. The EU restricts several phthalates from all uses while the U.S. has banned only a handful in children’s toys, and still allows them in food packaging and personal care products. usrtk.org/healthwire/p...

We are in the final hours of negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty, yet the newly proposed text hands the treaty to polluters.🌎❌ World leaders: send it back. 🚨Protect people and planet!✊ #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic #INC #PlasticsTreaty

The plastics crisis has gotten so bad that "the ability of future generations to enjoy a toxic-free environment conducive to a life w/ dignity is now compromised." Here's why legal experts are increasingly referring to plastic pollution as a human rights issue. @grist.org grist.org/equity/un-pl...

Big news: New Jersey has reached a $2 billion deal with DuPont and other companies to settle claims they contaminated the state with toxic #PFAS. NJ officials call it the “largest environmental settlement” ever awarded to a single state. whyy.org/articles/new...

So great to present @ the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators National Forum with @defendourhealth.bsky.social & Breast Cancer Prevention Partners on reducing PFAS in our lives, and to share with other panelists how states like Washington are leading the charge to prevent #PFAS pollution.

Toxic chemicals are fueling cancer and infertility worldwide. Scientists now say this crisis is as serious as climate change. And just like climate, it’s preventable—if we force corporations and governments to act. Read this important @theguardian.com story: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

⚠️ Fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists have flooded #PlasticsTreaty talks at a record high. They're working with petrostates to distract, delay, and drag the treaty toward the lowest common denominator. #KickPollutersOut #INC5-2 👉 Read more: bit.ly/41wUn1L

😓The Trump administration is granting emissions exemptions to polluters. 💰Companies granted exemptions – like BASF, Formosa Plastics, Chevron Phillips & Shell – have spent $$$ millions on lobbying. ☠️Communities should NOT be sacrificed for corporate profits & dividends. 📖https://bit.ly/45rwWby

🧪 NJ's AG has secured a historic $875 million PFAS settlement with polluters. #PFAS isn’t just an environmental crisis—it’s a multi‑billion‑dollar business risk. Brands exposed to these legacy chemicals may face significant financial liabilities. #ForeverChemicals www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/c...

A new study finds that children are being exposed to toxic chemicals—before they even reach kindergarten. 🧸 From phthalates to flame retardants, these chemicals are in everyday products—and can harm kids’ health for life. We’re working to change that with stronger protections and safer products.

Big corporations want lawmakers to protect their profits over your health. Whose side is your Assemblymember on: the chemical industry or children and families? Tell your Assemblymember to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act! 📲Call now: bit.ly/people-over-...

Must watch! Watch this powerful new video highlighting how the #vinyl plastics industry contaminated the historic African American community of Mossville Louisiana. Mossville is a posterchild example of why we need retailers like #HomeDepot to phase out PVC in packaging and building materials.

PVC is made with #vinylchloride—a known carcinogen. So why is The Home Depot still selling products made from it in packaging and flooring? 🚫 Toxic plastics don’t belong in our homes. New @toxicfreefuture.bsky.social blog: toxicfreefuture.org/blog/investo... #BanPVC #PlasticPollution #HomeDepot

Investors are warning HomeDepot: PVC is a business risk. ☣️ Made with vinyl chloride (a known human carcinogen) 📉 Facing possible bans in NY, WA, and the EU 🧱 Safer alternatives exist Time for #TheHomeDepot to lead. #BanPVC #PVCFree #ESG #MindTheStore

Today, the Seoul Judicial Court officially announced its ruling - a monetary fine - for the 5 Greenpeace activists and their peaceful protest on #PlasticPollution that took place over 6 months ago. We will be ecstatic to see the brave activists head back home hopefully in the coming weeks.

Momentum is building for a strong global plastics treaty. Big retailers and brands should get out in front of this by taking proactive action on plastics and toxic additives in plastics, including PVC, polystyrene, phthalates, organohalogen flame retardants, and other toxic plastics and chemicals.

Formosa Plastics’ petrochemical plant is poised to destroy St James Parish, Louisiana by spewing pollution. So how is it possible that financial institutions are pouring billions of sustainability-linked loans into this corporation? foe.org/news/uncheck...

“We applaud the new restrictions on PFAS in products. However, with PFAS in the blood of nearly every American, we need bold action—not half measures....The longer toxic ‘forever chemicals’ remain in use, the worse—and more expensive—the problem becomes.”

PVC — the plastic in pipes, flooring, clothes etc — harms the environment and people's health. That’s why 60+ orgs & 67,000+ people are calling on the EU to restrict PVC under REACH 🔗www.env-health.org/n... 1/10

Dangerously toxic and found everywhere: this is PVC! It harms our health and the planet at every stage. The industry hides the risks, but the truth is clear ➡️ there’s no such thing as sustainable PVC. #BeatPlasticPollution #BanPVC #REACH #WorldEnvironmentDay

Plastic poses a huge threat to environmental justice communities - from start to finish. The @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social must put #PeopleOverPlastic by passing A1749 before they adjourn on 6/17. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @michaellesolages.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/opinion/2025...

MUST-READ op-ed by Dr. Alexa White of @hiphopcaucus.bsky.social on the chemical + plastics industry's shameless targeting of NY's Black Puerto Rican Hispanic & Asian Legislative Caucus to erode their support for a key environmental justice bill, the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act

Polystyrene (plastic foam) items are still being sold widely in #California five months after the state banned them. 90+ orgs are now demanding action from @governor.ca.gov Newsom. “Without enforcement, California’s ban is more fiction than fact." shorturl.at/1x6wm

Heads up, retailers: Washington just called out your PVC packaging, PFAS-laced paints, phthalate-laden adhesives, & more. If safer alternatives exist, you will likely be required to reformulate. Might be time to clean up your supply chain. #StatesInTheLead 🔗 toxicfreefuture.org/press-room/w...

When #JohnsHopkins scientists drove their air testing van to #CancerAlley they didn’t have a lot of pre-existing studies to compare to. And the #petrochemicalindustry self-reports to the EPA. What they found astonished them. What does it mean for the people there? Go to bit.ly/3STi1AP to learn more.

At Home Depot’s shareholder meeting, East Palestine resident Jess Conard asked a crucial Q: What’s being done to eliminate PVC—the toxic plastic behind the derailment disaster that displaced her? The reply: vague words, no real commitment. 📢 Tell Home Depot: Drop toxic PVC. Choose safer materials.

We're grateful to Assemblymember @deborahjglick.bsky.social for putting people over plastic in NY by sponsoring A1749, the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act to reduce single-use packaging by 30%. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, please bring this bill to the floor for a vote.

The Home Depot led on phthalates 10 years ago—will it lead on PVC now? As shareholders meet this week, pressure is mounting to act on the poison plastic. Over 20,000 people are calling for change. 📖 Read our new blog: toxicfreefuture.org/blog/from-ph... #ESG #HomeDepot #PlasticPollution #Plastics

The Home Depot made headlines 10 years ago for removing toxic #phthalates from vinyl flooring. They can lead again—by phasing out #PVC #plastic from packaging and building materials. 🔨 With its shareholder meeting this week, it's time for The Home Depot to lead the industry toward safer products!

At his cabinet meeting, Trump revealed plans to cut EPA by 65%. It's no surprise that corporate polluters close to Trump want him to gut EPA, but this is the first time Trump has publicly said he plans to do it. Here's what it means for all of us and how we stop it... x.com/EricLDaugh/s...
