Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste invade the ecosystems that nurture life on Earth. This isn’t the end of the story, though. A different ending is possible: it starts with cutting out unnecessary plastic products and redesigning products so that they can be easily reused, repaired, repurposed and recycled. Switching to non-plastic alternatives. Strengthening environmentally sound waste management systems. It’s time to act and innovate to #BeatPlasticPollution.

#ICYMI Here are 4 benefits of waste sorting that you must learn today • Waste sorting facilitates the recovery and recycling of valuable materials such as paper, plastics, metals, and glass, reducing the need for raw material extraction and conserving natural resources. • By separating recyclable and compostable materials from non-recyclables, waste sorting helps minimize the volume of waste sent to landfills, extending the lifespan of landfill sites and reducing environmental pollution. • Proper waste sorting prevents the contamination of recyclable materials and reduces the release of harmful substances into the environment, safeguarding ecosystems, waterways, and wildlife habitats. • Waste sorting fosters community engagement and participation in sustainable practices, empowering individuals to take action and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations. With every item you sort, you're not just tossing trash—you're building a brighter future for generations to come. On this Day 20/30 of the #ECO30Impacts Challenge, let's roll up our sleeves, grab those sorting gloves, and show the world what we're made of. #wastesorting #zerowaste #sustainableliving
