The True Toxic Toll - 2nd biomonitoring report in Turna na Bodvou, Slovakia This report presents the findings of the second phase of a multi-year biomonitoring study (2023–2025) conducted in 8-11 May, 2024.

What have we found near the Turna na Bodvou cement kiln (Slovakia)?

- Toxic dioxins in 🐔 eggs exceed EU limits.
- Lead & arsenic contaminate playground soil.
- Scary PFAS levels in local water streams.

Authorities must ensure a safe, healthy environment.

The story of 2050 is being written today Scientists have a clear vision of what 2050 will look like, shaped by the choices we make today.

🤔 Imagine if you would meet someone from the future, what would they say about their everyday life?

#WeTheHopeful is a #storytelling initiative from a group of scientists. Cf both versions of "Louise's life in 2050" wethehopeful.org

Any other #narrativebuilding initiatives you are aware of?

Chemical recycling reality check 🚨

Industry experts confirm we need 50 years to scale up pyrolysis to address the plastic crisis.

Waiting until 2074 isn't a solution: it’s a delay tactic.

✅ Waste prevention
✅ Reuse systems
✅ Smart product design
