-✊- I bet the fabrics used for the seats and floors are made of synthetic fibers.
Whether they come from pseudo-#Recycling or #Downcycling, it doesn`t matter, the problem remains the same: these fibers will constantly wear out and generate MNPs (#microplastics and #nanoplastics) that will be inhaled by travelers, will come out through the openings in the station or will be sucked up by the cleaning staff who will then throw them in the trash to, in any case, end up in landfill or incinerator, therefore in dust, smoke or toxic ash that will indefinitely pollute all our vital resources (air, water and food) and all our vital organs. And this for the entire lifespan of these wagons, decades. And even after when these wagons are no longer used.
It`s a shame that the issue of plastic pollution is never radically addressed in such situations when the future of transport is rail, which makes it possible to avoid toxic micro and nanoparticles from tire wear. We are once again leaving the hot potato to future generations. #SimpleAndLucid
And I don`t enjoy being the party pooper.

Every stage of plastics life cycle is a health threat to humans.
Communities are exposed to pollutants during oil extraction.
Workers inhale toxic gasses during manufacturing.
Consumers ingest and absorb plastics toxins!
A 75% reduction in production is Needed

It’s simple to make a huge difference in the reduction of single use plastic from supermarkets. Our patented systems can dispense the thickest of products anything from cooking oils to ketchup etc. The manufacturers of these products could generate more income also by reducing the trucking to supermarkets in the traditional plastic packaging. We continue our uphill battle! We have requested MiamiDade County assist us in getting a meeting with publix. #reuse #refillnotlandfill #plasticstreaty #plasticfree #landfill #healthylifestyle

🥤🥤 ينتهي كل عام ما يصل إلى 12 مليون طن من النفايات البلاستيكية في المحيطات، و 9% فقط من إجمالي البلاستيك الذي تم إنتاجه منذ الخمسينيات يُعاد تدويره.
لكن في الحقيقة، إن معظم المخلّفات البلاستيكية التي يتم جمعها لا يُعاد فعلياً تدويرها على الإطلاق – في حين أن الجزء الضئيل الذي يُعاد تدويره يحتوي على مزيج سام من المواد الكيميائية التي تجعلها غير صالحة للاستخدامات الغذائية وغيرها من الاستخدامات الاستهلاكية.
أزمة التلوث البلاستيكي أصبحت مسألة خارجة عن السيطرة، ونحن بحاجة إلى العمل الآن! ✊🏿 ✊🏽✊🏼
⛔️🥤 طالب/ي قادة الدول في الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا بدعم معاهدة دولية قوية تكافح التلوّث البلاستيكي!👈🏻 act.gp/Plastic2-1-FB

Did you know that a lot of the plastic waste being produced in the Global North is being dumped into the African continent?
World leaders are coming together in Nairobi, Kenya in a few weeks. Let’s tell them to stop waste colonialism and end the age of plastic.
