Being in Paris for global treaty negotiations in May included lots of walking and riding the metro giving me ample time to see the sights... the waste management sites that is. ๐Ÿ˜Š #paris #wastemanagement #trashcan #recycle

The 1st thing I usually do when I visit a place is take photos of the trash & recycle bins. I saw some toters, small dumpsters, & a large recycle bin "sculpture" with holes for cans or bottles. But there were a bunch of these bag holders as well. They're often used for safety. #Paris #PlasticsTreaty

Good morning Paris. I just landed here for the Plastics Treaty talks. The traffic from CDG is just as intense as getting to ATL... bumper to bumper, accidents, police, sirens. Oh and motorbikes weaving in and out. My taxi driver is navigating it great though!

I know it's this new thing to most, but I had to play it in PE in jr/sr high school! Which was the 80s for those of you counting. I never thought I'd see it again in my lifetime after leaving school. ๐Ÿคฃ

Thank you for these lists! I found some of my fav people now! Just got here and I've been a little lost (and rusty from not using Twitter since it got bad). I'm so happy you made and shared this. I followed everyone! Follow back for plastic pollution science & me talking literal trash on here. ๐Ÿ˜

Hi @whysharksmatter.bsky.social it's so good to see you here and I hope the supportive science group grows! I'm ready for fun.

My bad explanation:
I dumpster dive and count food wrappers and cigarette butts on the ground to save the ocean.
