🐟 This is your waste: environmentalists of the Ecological Observation and Wetlands Conservation (ECOTON) in Indonesia created an outdoor exhibition about the world's ocean plastics crisis titled ‘3F Plastic’, made entirely from plastics.

🧴 Opened last month, the exhibition in the town of Gresik in east Java is made up of more than 10,000 bottles, bags, sachets and straws, all collected from polluted rivers and beaches in the area. The plastics problem is particularly acute in Indonesia, ranking second only behind China for its volume of plastics that end up in the seas.

⭕ Yunus Environment Hub implements #socialbusiness solutions around the globe to improve sustainable municipal waste management systems including waste segregation at source, collection, sorting and recycling technology and is promoting responsible plastic use and production on the path to a #circulareconomy.

📌 Since 1985, every first Monday of October the international community is coming together for UN World Habitat Day to reflect on the state of our living spaces and the basic right of all to adequate shelter. Taking place in Cameroon today, this year's event focuses on accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world.

🏙️ As keynote speaker on the high-level opening ceremony, our Co-founder and Chairman @professormuhammadyunus highlights @yunusenvironmenthub’s engagement for the transition towards a carbon-free world and reminds us that we all have the power and the responsibility to shape the future of our surroundings.

📖 Two weeks ago, @yunusenvironmenthub together

📖 Two weeks ago, @yunusenvironmenthub together with our partners @generation.n_, and @blackforest.solutions launched the report “Plastic Credits – Friend or Foe? Retrospective of recent market dynamics” on the emerging #plasticcredit market.

💡 If implemented sustainably, plastic credits have the potential to serve as a financial instrument to provide a lasting source of income for low-income groups such as informal waste workers in developing countries. While it is a noble goal to end poverty, one of the many UN #SDG goals, our target must be more ambitious: to ensure living wages for all.

💚 We are thankful for your feedback and delighted about the insightful messages and e-mails that reached us. These will allow us to keep the debate about the transition towards a more inclusive and transparent plastic credit market alive. Read the key recommendations or download the full report here on our website.

✊ Change is not only possible, it is urgently necessary – the time to act is now! This was the motto of the #globalclimatestrike last Friday. As the world's largest climate movement #fridaysforfuture we walked the streets for a more just and consistent climate policy.

🌍 Berlin, Duisburg and Wiesbaden – our team marched through several cities. In Berlin, alongside 100.000 people, we got the chance to show our support for two impressive women who accelerated this movement like no other: @gretathunberg and @luisaneubauer.

📢 For us, this strike is anything but a one-time event, since we're fighting for a greener and cleaner world everyday in developing and implementing #socialbusiness solutions for the environmental crisis. We won't stop to raise our voices: What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!

📌 How can we strengthen #socialbusiness in the Amazon region to fight deforestation and preserve biodiversity? Our #amazonasverde program manager @Kate Carrillo will speak about solutions together with one of our portfolio social businesses @Julio Rozo, founder of @Amazonia Emprende on 30th September at 2 pm COL at @Camara de Commercio Cali.

🌱 Often referred to as the lung of our planet, the Amazon rainforest contains 40% of the world's tropical forest, serving as home for approx. 30 million people and 25 % of terrestrial biodiversity. The continuous increase of #deforestation presents a threat to the livelihoods of indigenous and local communities. We're convinced that they play a key role in finding solutions for preserving and protecting this unique forest.

💡 Albert Einstein, a widely known and acknowledged physicist, worked according to the motto: innovation usually doesn’t happen unless you change the way you’ve been thinking.

⭕️ In the same way we can't stop #plasticpollution in producing more and finding better ways to get rid of it but instead, we have to develop innovative solutions to transform our economy. At @yunusenvironmenthub we develop and support #socialbusiness solutions that follow the 7 R's: #rethink, #reduce, #reuse, #repair, #refurbish, #recover and #recycle.

🍃 Help us to promote a more sustainable way of living in taking responsibility for what we produce and use.

📢 "What we need is a paradigm shift in the Plastic Credit market."

👀 Systematic improvements of waste collection and treatment services are urgently needed. Plastic Credits have the potential to finance necessary infrastructure and adequate remuneration for all workers along the waste value chain. For that, we must integrate social justice and transparency in its accounting mechanisms – aspects that remain largely unconsidered in practice.

👏🏻 Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who fought for India’s independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He saw deforestation as a replica of our attitude towards one another and ourselves.

🌱 To cut down trees without an immediate replacement will only worsen the current climate crisis we are facing today. This is why individual and collective actions to plant trees will go a long in helping curb this problem.
