Consumer sentiment began to trend away from disposable packaging — particularly single-use plastics — over the past few years, as images of waterways choked in waste circulated in the media. Then came the novel coronavirus, and with it a resurgence in single-use systems. Knowing the coronavirus can survive on surfaces, many assume single-use items are inherently safer than reusable alternatives, but are they really? For Plastic-Free July, we’ll take a closer look at a circular model that ensures health and hygiene while providing an alternative to single-use. On July 22 at 2 p.m. ET, 3BL Media will join Anthony Rossi, vice president of global business development for the reusable packaging platform Loop, and Patrick Browne, director of global sustainability for Loop’s logistics partner, UPS. We’ll talk about what’s new with Loop, often dubbed the “21st-century milkman,” in the time of COVID-19 and explore how circular systems like these can change mindsets and avoid a backslide on plastic waste generation.

Single-use plastics are wreaking havoc in our environment, our oceans and in our food chain in the form of microplastics. Now is the time to end to single-use plastics at the source. Let’s make sure the companies responsible for producing single-use plastics know that we don’t want their trash.

http://climaterealityproject.org - It started as a climate crisis, driven by fossil fuels. Now it’s becoming perhaps the greatest human health crisis yet. The good news? Around the world, people, businesses, and communities are taking action and helping create a healthier future for us all. In South Australia, one entrepreneur, Mike Cannon-Brooks, had enough of the region’s life-threatening power blackouts and knew clean energy could help. And it all started with a single tweet.
