This week is the final round of negotiations for the #HighSeasTreaty It’s a tragedy that only 1.2% of the High Seas are protected, with the rest vulnerable to exploitation. Hopefully we see conclusive change from these talks. theguardian.com/environment/20…

“Our world needs climate action on all fronts: everything, everywhere, all at once” shared the United Nations's secretary general, António Guterres, as a summary to today’s release of The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (#IPCC) sixth and final assessment report.

The #WetWipeBan is a good step forward in eliminating #plasticpollution in our waterways. Now we need similar action for the full spectrum of #plastic that ends up in our #rivers and #seas. circularonline.co.uk/news/plastic-w…

Wow. 60,000 marching in London today for #EarthDay at #TheBigOne.... amazing.

“We can’t tackle climate change without tackling plastics” Thank you to Sky News for inviting me to talk about Common Seas’ work to tackle the plastics crisis for #EarthDay. It was so inspiring to see so many come together to celebrate our planet over the weekend.

With only a few weeks until INC-2 we’re at a crucial time for protecting our oceans. For CIWM I talked about the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty, and why Common Seas is working to help the hospitality industry take action on plastic. circularonline.co.uk/opinions/paris…

Did you know that plastic bottles make up nearly 1/3 of all plastic packaging in the #UK? To make #reuse the norm, we need a network of public #water refill points🚰 That’s why I've signed Ocean Bottle's letter in The Times and The Sunday Times. thetimes.co.uk/article/times-…

A new report from UN Environment Programme shows that the reduction in #plasticpollution needed is achievable. But history tells us that this does not mean that it will happen. That’s why the upcoming negotiations for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty are so important. metro.co.uk/2023/05/17/wor…

Today I wrote to The Independent about the once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to secure a strong and comprehensive #GlobalPlasticTreaty that protects Small Island Developing States against the existential #plasticpollution threat they face. The stakes could not be higher.

Small islands contribute very little to our total plastic waste, yet often they are left to bare the brunt. Common Seas were at last weeks negotiations for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty helping small islands to get their voices heard. metro.co.uk/2023/06/03/sma…

“A truly circular economy cannot be delivered without the correct infrastructure." This #WorldRefillDay I'm joining @TheOceanBottle’s call for more free public water fountains across the UK to prevent #plasticwaste. circularonline.co.uk/news/news-in-b…
