We are the inclusive community for the conscious generation

A series of monthly events focused on promoting sustainable, ethical living.

Innovations fighting against the Plastic Pandemic 🤛 — Polymeteria, a british-based technology company are working on a plastic that guarantees total biodegradation and a complete return to the biological cycle, through altering plastic at a molecular level! — Benefits: 💡This plastic remains dormant when in use / on a store shelf 💡Can be recycled like normal 💡If escapes into our environment, total biodegration is triggered through contact with UV light, moisture, air and microbes — In truth, there are few good plastics alternatives that work on a large scale with sorting and recycling facilities needing huge investment and reform. But this innovation might be the best solution to the problem — Current System Facts: ✨300 million tons of brand-new plastic are created each year ✨Over 80 million tons of this becomes plastic packaging ✨30 percent will escape the systems designed to collect it and will pile up in the environment ✨Less than 20 percent of global plastic waste gets recycled. The rest will go to landfills or an incinerator #noplanetbcommunity To take on Climate Change, should we change our vocabulary? — We’ve adopted a wartime mentality: 🏹Eco-Warriors 🏹Carbon Tax Battles 🏹Climate Change Deniers 🏹Reluctant politicians — Military and sports metaphors train us to see everything in terms of conflict 🥊this side vs that side 🥊 and that perspective limits our collective imagination about what we can do to fix complex problems💡 — Are there other ways to frame our predicament and convey the sense of urgency that’s needed without dividing us? 🧐 — 💡Studies have shown the best way to get people to stop demonizing each other is to introduce them to the actual human beings they disagree with for an open non-confrontational conversation — Let us know your thoughts? #noplanetbcommunity @extinctionrebellion group call on @bbcnews to tell ‘full truth about ecological emergency’ 🌎 — Do you agree that the mainstream news should be playing a key role in enabling the transformative change needed? — Extinction Rebellion think so…opening their letter to Government with: — “We must collectively do whatever’s necessary non-violently, to persuade politicians and business leaders to relinquish their complacency and denial” 🤛👏🌎💚🌎#noplanetbcommunity Dream Team — noun — A team of people perceived as the perfect combination for a particular purpose 🌎💚🌎 — No other words needed to describe the NPB team 🤛 *missing a few in this photo 💚#noplanetbcommunity Our Founder Chris and @mamalinauk celebrating Christmas #zerowaste #vegan style 🎄 — We met so many amazing people at our last event, all helping us get to closer to our mission: making sustainability a social norm ✨ — We aim to make our events as assessable as possible, sharing knowledge though an array of outlets: live music, spoken word poetry, keynote talks, workshops and audience Q&As 💡 — 💚 — Tag a friend who you’ll be bringing along in 2019 and be sure to sign up to our eco-mailout via link in bio to gain priority access ✨ #noplanetbcommunity Finding Nemo 2 🐠 Reaching Cinemas near you in 2019!🤥 — One can hope! Our friends at @oceangeneration through their new 'Disaster' content campaign are raising some important questions... — 🌎Should Disney be held accountable for sharing real life truths within their most famous works? — 🌎If we take animation into account, should Moana’s beach be shown the way it really is, covered in plastic waste? — 🌎Should the characters of the Jungle Book (revisited 2016) be shown with deforestation, real life truths that disrupt their habitats? — Should Disney be totally and brutally honest about the world we live in? ✨ Tag a friend below and let us know your thoughts 💡#noplanetbcommunity @patagonia are making a BIG statement about Climate Change! A $10 Million statement to be exact! — CEO Rose Marcario announced they will be donating $10 Million to organisations helping to protect our land, air and water 🌎The company saved the money as a result of Trump’s irresponsible tax cuts. Whilst lots of corporate companies in America have gained from Trumps actions, Patagonia have made it clear they do not believe in Trumps administation! 🤛🌎💚🌎#noplanetbcommunity Tag a friend to share the news ✨ If you like it, you should put a plastic-free ring on it 🌿 — @corona plans to replace all #plastic rings with #plantbased #biodegradable fibres, that are not harmful to wildlife🌎 — One of the first global alcohol brands to make a shift towards a plastic free range 🤛 who’s going to be next? #noplanetbcommunity A 12 person committee of scientists sponsored by @noaa have been appointed to save our coral reefs! 🐠🌎 — The @unitednations reported shocking stats of coral reef reductions if temperature rise: — 💡1.5 degrees Celsius = 70-90% decline 💡2 degrees Celsius = 99% decline — 50% of Coral reefs have been ‘cooked’ in recent years brought on by warmer ocean temperatures. The committee plan to trial more than two dozen intervention strategies, many of them experimental, that could make corals more resilient to the effects of climate change. Ranging from relocation and genetic manipulation of coral species to antibiotic use and spraying salt water into the atmosphere to shade and cool reefs 🌎💚🌎#noplanetbcommunity ♻️5 Recycling Myths Busted♻️ — The recycling industry is rapidly changing - here's the truth about some common recycling misconceptions: — 💡All recycling systems are 'single stream' = Not true! ❌It varies by region. So before throwing everything in one bin, double check the local recycling rules in your region — 💡Individual waste collectors can't make a dent in the problem. False! ❌These individual efforts help reduce litter and public health risks and contribute meaningfully to recycling efforts — 💡Products made of multiple materials cannot be recycled. False! ❌Unlike early recycling facilities, some of today's machines can now break down and seperate materials — 💡Items can only be recycled once. False! ❌ Depending on the material. Glass and metal can be recycled infinitely — 💡Recycling doesn't really have an impact on the planet. False! ❌It does have an impact. Studies show recycling reduces the carbon footprint, scales back litter, and create jobs — Tag a friend to share these facts 💚 #noplanetbcommunity Source: @natgeo — The best way to cut down on recycling in the first places is by reducing the packaging you have to buy ✨try buying loose veg and fruit and choosing to shop in #plasticfree bulk food stores 🌎
