#WorldCleanupDay: South Asia is a hotspot for plastic waste entering the ocean each year. Two recently released The World Bank reports, supported by PROBLUE and SAWI trust funds, reveal that rivers in this region are major conduits for plastic pollution. The problem is intensified as the plastic waste management infrastructure struggles to keep pace with rapid urbanization and population growth.

Today, the United Nations marks March 30th as the International Day of Zero Waste. This day is an important reminder of the critical need to enhance global waste management and promote sustainable consumption and production patterns at every level of society. As the UN notes, waste reduction is one of the most pressing issues of our time. The impact of waste on our environment is significant, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and other forms of pollution. But the impact of waste on human health is equally concerning, with plastic pollution alone causing up to a million deaths annually in developing nations. On this International Day of Zero Waste, let us all commit to taking action to reduce waste and promote sustainable practices. Together, we can help create a healthier and more sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come. #InternationalDayofZeroWaste #sustainability #wastereduction

🌍 Celebrate Earth Day with action! This Earth Day, let’s turn our commitments into actionable change for the health of humanity and our planet! The pledge is clear: a 60% reduction in all plastic production by 2040, alongside a decisive phase-out of single-use plastics by 2030. The #NaturalHeritage Mission is working towards a healthier planet by upscaling knowledge for effective policies at the Euro-Mediterranean level. But we cannot do it alone. 🗨️ What are you or your organisation doing to tackle plastic pollution?

“The Planet vs. Plastics campaign is a call to arms, a demand that we act now to end the scourge of plastics and safeguard the health of every living being upon our planet.” - Kathleen Rogers, President, Earth Day Network This World Earth Day, organisations across the globe are demanding & working towards a 60% reduction in the production of plastics by 2040. Every year 19-23 million tonnes of plastic waste leaks into aquatic ecosystems, polluting lakes, rivers and seas. It is altering natural habitats and ecosystems, directly impacting livelihood, food production & social well-being. Let's make our contribution to the goal by reducing the use of plastic products, especially single-use plastic and leading a more sustainable lifestyle. #earthday #earthvsplastic #sustainableliving #EndPlastics #globalplasticstreaty #earth #earthday2024 EARTHDAY.ORG

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, harming marine life and disrupting ecosystems. From microplastics infiltrating our food chain to single-use plastics overwhelming landfills, the impact is devastating. We must unite to demand a reduction in plastic production and consumption. #ReducePlasticWaste #StartaRipple #IamTheRipple #CMH #EcoChangeMakers #Impact2030 #PlasticFree #ClimateAction #StrongerTogether #WalkTheTalk #RealImpact #Start #Sustainability #SaveOurOceans

The International Day of Zero Waste aims to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns, support the societal shift towards circularity, and raise awareness about how zero-waste initiatives contribute to advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The waste sector contributes significantly to the triple planetary climate change crisis, biodiversity, nature loss, and pollution. Humanity generates an estimated 2.24 billion tons of municipal solid waste annually, of which only 55 percent is managed in controlled facilities. Every year, around 931 million tons of food is lost or wasted, and up to 14 million tons of plastic waste enters aquatic ecosystems. Zero-waste initiatives can foster sound waste management and minimize and prevent waste, helping to address the triple planetary crisis, protect the environment, enhance food security, and improve human health and well-being. Zero-waste living can start with ourselves for better earth and better humanity. #ZeroWasteDay #BeatWastePollution #UIDIndonesia #SDGs #SustainableDevelopmentGoals
