#THY sistemimde #Wolfs diye bir film var ve filmde ısrarla #prostitute yani fahişe model diye çevrilmiş. Modelleri fahise olarak gördüklerinden mi acaba bu? Yoksa fahise demekten mi utanıyorlar. Madem rahatsızsınız koymayın böyle filmler. Madem koyuyorsunuz işinizi doğru düzgün yapın. Bu ne saçmalık

EU & UK HAC members talk big on ending #PlasticPollution yet in Dec 2024 alone, Germany sent 12.7M kg of plastic to Türkiye. Total EU exports hit 47M kg/month (Nov). UK: 6M kg/month (Jan 2025). Türkiye isn’t Europe's landfill. Hypocrisy must end. #stopwastecolonialism #wastetrade

Fortunately, they released the journalists. The unjustified arrest suddenly turned into a release. What is law in this country?

Today, Gökhan Kam (formerly worked for @cumhuriyetgazetesi.bsky.social) and Yasin Akgül (works for @afpnews.bsky.social) were arrested for simply being journalists and covering the protests in Istanbul. With both journalists, we did very good work on the issue of plastic waste.

oh my GOD

#Plastic waste imported from the #UK haphazardly dumped alongside roads in Adana Türkiye.

One of the largest #terephthalic acid facilities (#SASA) has just started operating at increased capacity. The facility's location on the most fertile land (#Cukurova/Adana) in Türkiye means that safe food production may no longer be possible.

Akademik bir kadroya başvuruyu yalan beyanla yapmaya çalışmak da ayrı bir akademik yoksunluk örneği. Ne bekleniyor yani juri üyeleri yapılan yalan beyanı anlamayacak mı? Zavallılık.

Recently, The Guardian published an article about Turkey's waste imports. The article was widely circulated, and the Turkish government's "Ministry of Truth" issued a denial. Here is The Guardian article: www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe... Here is denial: www.dha.com.tr/yerel-haberl...

As a guest lecturer in a great class with great people, we talked about waste trade, one of the major feeders of global environmental injustice, from the perspective of waste colonialism. Thanks again for the invitation, Dr. Turan.

Time flies, we are already done with the 3rd week of #CriticalApproaches25 w/ @raumplaner.bsky.social So far, we had the privilege to host @mahiryazar.bsky.social (@uibcet.bsky.social) ) & @sgundogdu.bsky.social (Çukurova University) in our classroom. We are most grateful for their contributions 👏

Want to start this with something positive, amidst all the turmoil. Beach litter at Europe‘s shores is down by 29% compared to 2015/16. Observational data, so causes unclear, but I my bet is on the Single Use Plastics directive. #plasticpollution joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/jrc-news-and...

Plastic waste importers and #plastic packaging producer Sanko Company is a sponsor of the Climate Ambassador program organized by #UNICEF and the Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change. What an oxymoron.
