plastic soup

In the discussion about climate change, global warming and the loss of biodiversity, there is one word that is hardly ever mentioned: the cigarette.

There is a giant whale swimming in the canals of Utrecht. And it’s made of plastic rescued from the ocean.

I gathered my favorite “Yay for the Earth” moments of the past week. Read how Starbucks sees an increase of 150% in the use of reusable cups, how one mayor in Italy takes a firm stand against the plastic soup and why Hawaii is banning sunscreens.
