SHOCKING. As much as 91% of ALL plastic waste ever made ends up being incinerated, in landfills, or dumped right into our environment. Help us achieve a world of #ZeroWaste and #EndPlasticPollution Study link: https://t.co/gvqQKrZQ5Z https://t.co/8Ao88zrU
Plastic production roughly doubles every 11 years. Production is expected to accelerate as oil companies, facing falling demand for crude oil, switch to plastic production. https://t.co/MGBTnLVP8G
PLASTIC The U.S and the U.K. produce more plastic waste per person than any other nation, with each American generating an average of 105kg of plastic waste per year and the British almost 99kg annually, reports a new paper. https://t.co/MGBTnLVP8G

Environmental community, it's time to think about fashion.
Care about plastic pollution? You must also care about fashion. Over 12% of all plastics ever produced have been for polyester, nylon and acrylic fibers. And don't assume clothing is a durable good, we have no idea how often people wear their things. https

Less than 10% of all plastic ever made has been recycled. More than half discarded. The problem is production. And fossil fuel companies will be increasingly looking for new markets for their products. Plastic = fossil fuel. https://t.co/RMgPydNiWk https
