உலகின் பல நாடுகளிலும் துரத்தி அடிக்கப்பட்ட எரிஉலைகள் இந்தியாவில் தலை தூக்குகின்றன. தமிழ்நாட்டில் மற்றும் 57 எரிஉலைகலைத் தொடங்குவதற்கு அரசு முடிவு செய்துள்ளது. இவையெல்லாம் நம் ஊருக்கு வருவதற்கு முன் நாம் அறியவேண்டியவை என்ன? மக்கள் எதிர்கொள்ளும் பேராபத்துக்கள் என்ன?

The results of CAG's 2022 plastic brand audit are in! Find out who all have received the dubious distinction of making it to the Top 10! The brand audit is a citizen-science initiative anchored by #BreakFreeFromPlastic where plastic waste is gathered and audited to reveal those brands and manufacturers whose plastic packaging we found the most of.
#Manjappai is the way forward! Carry one with you - they're small, light and can carry a lot of weight. Your perfect companion for shopping. Who needs plastic bags anymore?
#மஞ்சப்பை தான் முன்னேற்றத்திற்கான வழி! எப்பொழுதும் உங்களுடன் எடுத்துச் செல்லுங்கள் - அவை சிறியவை, இலகுவானவை மற்றும் அதிக எடையை சுமக்கக்கூடியவை . ஷாப்பிங் செல்வதற்கு உங்களது சரியான துணையாய் இருக்கும். இனி பிளாஸ்டிக் பைகள் யாருக்கு தேவை?
Today is #RefuseSingleUse day. #SingleUsePlastics give us the impression of saving time & effort...single use plastic cups, single use plastic straws, single use plastic bags. The list is endless. We need to change, & we need to start somewhere. So today, why not say 'no' to the plastic cups in your local tea stall? Ask them for a glass or metal one & be the start of something new.

The Plastic Brand Audit is a yearly initiative to gather data on the top polluting companies (and this year, this global citizen-science project celebrates its 5th birthday!). Last month, our team of dedicated volunteers cleaned up a stretch of the Kasimedu Beach, Chennai. The plastic waste they found was sorted and analysed to find out which company is putting out the most plastic. Our findings about who we found to be the top polluters, will soon be published. #breakfreefromplastic #brandaudit2022
Recycled plastic pellets from Chennai fared poorly: 14 of the 18 chemicals (7 flame retardants, 6 UV-stabilizer and bisphenol A) were found in samples.10 of these are endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

The global North continues dumping toxic plastic waste on the global South. Recycling of plastics, containing unknown toxic components is dangerous to those that live and work around these sites. This needs to stop.
