August. Geneva. See you there. Great news. The UN has confirmed that the next round of negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty will take place on the 5th to 14th August in Geneva, Switzerland, dubbed INC-5.2. In December, talks for a historic treaty to end plastic pollution came crashing down without a final agreement. While some nations, backed by oil lobbyists, pushed for only recycling targets, over 100 Member States refused to compromise and called for a meaningful treaty with a global plastic reduction target. This was promising. In the past, countries may have settled for a diluted treaty but now we know this is not enough. In the next five months, we urge decision makers to listen to the scientists, and understand that plastic is no longer worth the risk on health and the economy. We will continue banging the drum on the truth about plastic and calling for an ambitious treaty that cuts production. #PlasticsTreaty #PlasticPollution #UnitedNations

Even if we make every effort to THINK we are recycling, are we really?
Credit to Giulia Marzetti February 26, 2025 Out of 36 cups being dropped into recycling bins, Only 4 ended up actually being recycled. https://lnkd.in/gG34xgxk This is wild! Over 75% of Starbucks drinks are served in plastic cups. They say their cups are recyclable and are working on making all of their cups recyclable or compostable by 2030. But an investigation just found out that most of those cups don’t actually get recycled. Out of 36 cups tracked, only 4 ended up at a recycling facility. The others? They end up into landfills, incinerators, or waste transfer stations. What could we do instead? ● bring your own cup ● design waste out ● drink instore ● refuse Anything else you would add?

?? Food waste isn’t just a problem—it’s a crisis. Every year, 40% of food in the U.S. is wasted—that’s nearly 80 million tons of perfectly good food discarded. Meanwhile, millions of people go hungry, and food waste fuels the climate crisis. Here at Littlefoot Ventures, we’re helping organizations unlock funding and scale solutions that tackle food waste at its root—bridging the gap between sustainability, philanthropy, and impact. The good news? Solutions exist. From better supply chain management to corporate policy shifts and consumer action, we can tackle food waste at every level. ?? What’s one step you or your organization are taking to reduce food waste?

Your great-great-grandkids won’t know your name but that plastic bottle? Still here. That candy wrapper you just tossed? It’ll still be here in 2424. Long after us, long after our kids, plastic outlives everything. This ad used humour to remind us of the clock ticking. Because sometimes, the best way to wake up is with a reality check that makes you laugh and think. Every piece of plastic we “throw away” is in our oceans, our soil, and even inside us. We don’t have to be perfect, but we can do better. Carry a bottle. Skip the plastic bag. Choose smarter. Because at the end of the day, what we leave behind should be memories, not microplastics. So next time you grab single-use plastic, ask yourself, do you really want your trash to have a longer legacy than you?
