How we Made a Global Impact in One Day - https://videos.trom.tf/w/hHmEdTrtS7PwqqDmrcfZxX by @Dima

This system of trade incentivizes more people to waste plastic and pollute, than use it wisely or cleanup like these people do. Ultimately we need to deal with this bad and global incentive because the balance is tilted in the wrong way.

@Dima continues to be brave to act. Maybe he will inspire some of you! Great job Dima! And yes, shocking to see how much garbage is hidden beneath the water...

When Is “Recyclable” Not Really Recyclable? When the Plastics Industry Gets to Define What the Word Means.

Companies whose futures depend on plastic production are trying to persuade the federal government to allow them to put the label “recyclable” on plastic shopping bags and other items virtually guaranteed to end up in landfills and incinerators.


Someone else already posted this, but I wanted the big picture.

Several dozens of LEGO minifigures assembled from various parts on a brick-built bleachers. Includes parts from pirate, roman, medieval, city, Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings themes.


Every year, I think the same few things about #EarthHour:
  • How many #children will be conceived while the lights are out?
  • We turn off everything… OK, cool. Now let's ask beverages sellers to stop selling their liquids in #plastic bottles, and let's ask airlines to stop flying planes for a day.
  • How long more will mankind prefer palliatives over solving the real problems?

Todos los años pienso las mismas cosas sobre la #HoraDelPlaneta:
  • ¿A cuántos #niños concebirán mientras las luces están apagadas?
  • Apagamos todo… OK, genial. Ahora pidámosle a quienes venden bebidas que dejen de venderlas en botellas de #plástico y pidámosle a las aerolíneas que dejen de volar sus aviones por un día.
  • ¿Cuánto tiempo más hasta que la humanidad deje de preferir paliativos a resolver los verdaderos problemas?
