Plastic bottles can take over 400 yrs to break down into microplastics & often toxic components. Fight #plasticpollution by supporting the #TennCan bottle deposit bill in 2019! (Or campaign for a bill in your state!) #BeTheChange

"Can you recycle the bag in boxed wine?" "How do you recycle straws?" All the neglected Qs & As around curbside recycling ♻
Great work @TGonzalez @sinersays @WPLN @TurnipGrnReuse!

Fantastic, motivating video by @McCauley_Lab on #plasticpollution. Not just a problem for the oceans--the Tennessee River has among the highest microplastic levels measured to date!
2019 is the year to do something about it! #TennCan 🥫♻️🏙️

40 years ago, TN's farmers, sportsmen, enviro groups and a lot of legislators got behind a 5¢ deposit on cans and bottles. Let's work together again (bottlers, will you join us this time?) and make it happen in 2019. Happy New Year! @FBonTheHill @twfoutofdoors #tenncan

While you got the family together, why not talk about microplastics in our water? Container deposits can triple recycling rates (& cut down #plasticpollution), but the US hasn't passed one in 16 yrs!

Looks like we can now add Turkey--yes, Turkey!--to the list of governments across the globe requiring deposit-return. Time for #TennCan

Been workin' on a vid since October–explaining why "bottle bills" (5c refundable charges on containers) are an ESSENTIAL tool for addressing #plasticpollution. And why everyone should support @TennCanTweets in making TN the 1st US state to pass such a law in 16 years! #TennCan

Wow. Tennessee River 16,000 to 18,000 microplastic particles per cubic meter (Germany's Rhine River - 200 particles per cubic meter). nationalgeographic.com/envir… #plasticpollution
It was standing-room only last night at Central Library (Memphis) for the Sierra Club’s recycling program. #TennCan
A great way to keep plastics out of our water is to incentivize recycling with a container deposit! Support #TennCan, support #plasticfree water!
Wow! New research shows #microplastics in 90% of the table salt brands sampled worldwide. #plasticpollution
