📉 Die weltweiten Fruchtbarkeitsraten sind in den letzten 50 Jahren um über 50 % gesunken. Was ist der Grund für diesen Rückgang? Untersuchungen von Dr. Shanna Swan zeigen, dass dies eng mit den Chemikalien in Kunststoffen zusammenhängt. 🚨⚠️ #BreakFreeFromPlastic #ThePlasticDetox #UnplasticYourLife

Unsere Kosmetik sollte sicher sein und kein Mix aus schädlichen Chemikalien. Trotzdem überlegt die EU-Kommission, giftige Stoffe wieder in unseren Lieblingsprodukten zuzulassen. ❌ Wir lassen nicht zu, dass Profit vor Gesundheit geht. share.greens-efa.eu/s/NZgbZGx8

I think this important @scientistscoa.bsky.social policy brief, 'What are the benefits of regulating chemicals of concern?', has not yet received the attention it deserves. It focuses on the benefits of regulating #plastic chemicals, an important new angle. ikhapp.org/wp-content/u...

Plastics are not just waste — they’re a toxic and climate threat. #EECCA countries need strong, coordinated action on waste, #SUPs, plastic production reduction, health & chemicals. #PlasticsTreaty @brsmeas #ClimateAction Read new @HEJ_Support report: hej-support.org/plastic-eecc...

Our new report “Combating Plastic Pollution in EECCA Countries” reveals plastic flows, toxic additives & policy gaps in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine & Uzbekistan. The report builds a road map toward toxic-free #CircularEconomy in EECCA @brsmeas #PlasticsTreaty

🚨 PFAS pollution is not cheap, we pay the price with our health, environment, economy 📣 We have launched a new #PFAS manifesto, calling for a broad restriction on PFAS by 2030 Read more: www.banpfasmanifesto.org/en/ https://hej-support.org/pfas-manifesto-launched/#PFAS#BanPFAS #StopPFAS @chemtrust @eeb

HEJSupport joined 41 organisations in calling on the EU COM to uphold chemical transparency and traceability in products. Without it, circularity & health are at risk. Citizens have the right to know what’s in what they buy. 👉 Read the joint letter: https://ow.ly/KA4N50X51BS

🌍 Der 2.Teil der 5. Verhandlungsrunde zum Plastikabkommen wurde nach einem chaotischen Prozess & Verlängerung, vertagt. 💪Der Kampf gegen die Plastikverschmutzung wird weltweit in verschiedenen Formen fortgesetzt. Pressemitteilung von BFFP🔗https://exit-plastik.de/inc-5-2-tag-10/

🌍 INC-5.2 Tag 5 📣Die Verhandlungen stocken. Über 200 Vertreter*innen der Zivilgesellschaft fordern „Bringt den Prozess in Ordnung, haltet eure Versprechen und schließt ein sinnvolles Abkommen zur Beendigung der Plastikverschmutzung ab.“ 🔗 www.exit-plastik.de/plastics-treaty #Plastikabkommen

🌍 INC-5.2 Tag 4: Vier Tage nach Beginn der Verhandlungen sind wir noch immer nicht auf Kurs, ein Abkommen zu erreichen, das Menschen und Natur wirksam schützt. 👀Die ausführlichen Tagesrückblicke findet ihr auf unserer Website: 🔗 www.exit-plastik.de/plastics-treaty

🚨Showing our collective power outside plenary🚨 Observers gather outside the plenary hall, telling delegates to fix the process, keep their promise, and end plastic pollution. #INC52 #PlasticsTreaty #BeatPlasticPollution #BreakFreeFromPlastic

🌍 INC-5.2 Tag 3 Die Verhandlungen über konkrete Elemente haben begonnen. Greenpeace-Aktivist:innen malten Straßen in Genf schwarz, um auf den Einfluss der fossilen Brennstoffindustrie hinzuweisen, von denen 234 Vertreter:innen für INC-5.2 registriert sind. 🔗 www.exit-plastik.de/plastics-treaty

🌍 INC5.2 Tag 1 Auf den Bildern haben wir für euch positive (✅) und negative (❌) Punkte zusammengefasst, die heute beobachtet wurden. 👀Die ausführlichen Tagesrückblicke findet ihr auf unserer Website: 🔗 www.exit-plastik.de/plastics-treaty

Today, in #PlasticsTreaty #INC52 talks, ambitious countries are experiencing déjà vu as spoiler countries keep forgetting that the 2022 UNEA 5/14 resolution mandates a treaty that addresses the FULL lifecycle of plastics. [Sadly, we used this cartoon before. Still applies.]

✊ One day before the final round of negotiations for a Global #PlasticsTreaty start, hundreds of citizens and civil society organisations gathered at the UN Place des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, to demand an ambitious & legally binding treaty! www.breakfreefromplastic.org/2025/08/05/s... (1/5)

To protect people's health, #PlasticsTreaty should regulate and finally ban harmful chemicals that can be released at any stage of the plastic life cycle, from production to #recycling and disposal @toxicsfree.bsky.social @hejsupport.bsky.social @ssnc.bsky.social @breakfreefromplastic.org

#PFAS are raining down on #GreatLakes and accumulating in the most vital freshwater supply. Air, rain & runoff all play a role. Time for class‑wide regulation, cross-border action, stricter limits @hejsupport.bsky.social @toxicsfree.bsky.social newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...

Over 60% of clothes are plastic-based. Washing them releases microplastics. Choose natural fibers like cotton, linen & hemp! What natural fibers do you prefer? #SustainableFashion #PlasticsTreaty #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticPollution sustainfashion.info

Ahead of the Aug 2025 #PlasticsTreaty talks, delegates must act on @who.int @toxicsfree.bsky.social @hejsupport.bsky.social health&environment concerns in the treaty. That means: ✅ Cap production ✅ Ban toxics ✅ Ensure accountability ✅ Reject broad exemptions pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Diese ganze Story stinkt zum Himmel. Bojanowski konfrontiert niemanden von den Grünen, der SPD oder einen Umweltverband mit diesen Vorwürfen, sondern holt bei der "Initiative Transparente Demokratie" eine Stellungnahme ein - ein Verein, der GERADE EINMAL ZWEI WOCHEN EXISTIERT?

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let's tackle #plasticpollution and toxic chemicals in products. Choose sustainable options and push for toxics-free circular solutions. 🌱 Together, we can build a healthier future for all! 💚 #BeatPlasticPollution #SaferProducts #ToxicFreePlanet #PlasticsTreaty

Scientists are calling on the @ec.europa.eu Commission for regulatory measures against chemical mixtures in the #REACH revision. They emphasize the risks to the environment and health, which are underestimated. A Mixture Assessment Factor (MAF) is advocated as a pragmatic solution. 👉 bit.ly/3T2yliS

Plastics are ubiquitous, and so are their toxic chemicals. From hormone disruption to #microplastics in our bloodstream, the health impacts are significant. #PlasticsTreaty must prioritize chemical transparency and #humanhealth healthpolicy-watch.news/the-health-c...

One more reason to implement a globally harmonized system for transparency and traceability of chemicals in products. We all should be able to access our right to know! Harmful chemicals have no place in products, especially hygienic products!

Today in one of the best political comedy shows in German TV „Die Anstalt“, plastics and the recycling lie. I highly recommend watching! @exitplastik.bsky.social @breakfreefromplastic.org www.zdf.de/shows/die-an...

The climate, pollution & biodiversity crisis is harming our health, says Denis Fernando of @friends-earth.bsky.social At next week's @coe.int meeting, Ministers must support a binding instrument legally protecting the right to a #HealthyEnvironmentForAll - foundational to all human rights!

I hope the new leadership at the ministry will continue it’s engagement for a toxic-free environment @schneidercar
