Washing your clothes, specifically clothes made from synthetic fibers, are apt to add to microplastic pollution: Scientists have found that a large-scale laundry facility in the Netherlands is contributing substantially to urban wastewater pollution from microplastics shedding into the environment. #microplastics #clothes #plastic #pollution https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/researchers-stunning-discovery-while-studying-031500324.html

From seabirds to sea turtles: the fatal toll of #plastic revealed
Scientists have analysed 10,000 marine animal autopsies to understand how plastic ingestion leads to death.
The study found seabirds face extreme risk after swallowing just 23 pieces of plastic, giving them a 90% chance of dying. Marine mammals reach similar danger at 29 pieces, while sea turtles need to ingest around 405 pieces to hit the same threshold.

Egypt is more than its iconic pyramids.
Today, it's a key global player and strategic partner for the EU.
During the first EU-Egypt Summit, the EU committed to:
💰 €4 billion in Macro-Financial Assistance to support Egypt's economy
💶 €75 million in support of socio-economic reforms benefiting local communities
Egypt also joins Horizon Europe, allowing local researchers to participate in large-scale projects alongside European peers.

I completed my mission of not buying any drinks in plastic bottles for the entire month of September. (I named it #NoPETember for lack of a better term.) After a week-ish it really wasn't too difficult at all.

The Japanese government is pushing for the development of a new plastic material that naturally decomposes in the sea as marine environmental pollution becomes ever more serious. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/15/japan/science-health/developing-biodegradable-plastics-to-reduce-marine-plastic-waste/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #oceans #environment #plastic #waste #meti #pollution
