Finland bans cargo ships from discharging wastewater in Finland's coastal waters. While generally a good move, I'm afraid this will become a law only in letter. It will be very difficult to enforce this law as it will hard to even spot the act in the first place, or to tie it to a specific vessel. Also it will be much cheaper to just dump your wastewater in international waters before entering the coastal area. News: yle.fi/a/74-20131006 (in english)

California's AG Bonta is suing ExxonMobil, the world’s largest contributor to single-use plastic waste, over its decades-long fraud to convince the public that recycling is a viable solution to the spiraling plastic waste crisis.

Today is Plastic Overshoot Day: All the waste from #fastfashion, plastic #packaging and single-use #plastic produced from now to the end of the year statistically ends up as pollution. I spoke with Sarah Perreard of Earth Action how she and her colleagues arrived at the date, whether #wastemanagement is improving or not, and what that means for the global #PlasticsTreaty to tackle #PlasticPollution.
