We plastificeren onze planeet(!)
Om plastic vervuiling te stoppen moeten we op een fundamenteel anderen manier met #plastic omgaan.

Must see! National television last night - on why we don’t succeed in having deposits on small implemented in the Netherlands. And the role the Plastic Soup Surfer played in the discussion.
Must see! : https://nos.nl/l/2279789
Very interesting and at the same time troubling.
Today another debate in parliament. Hopefully this broadcast helps.

Kijk (en deel) de uitzending van @nieuwsuur over ‘waarom statiegeld alsmaar niet wordt ingevoerd’.
Hier te vinden: nos.nl/l/2279789
Morgen (donderdag) is het Algemeen Overleg in de Tweede Kamer - de druk kan niet hoog genoeg.
Ook op grote flessen moet statiegeld blijven!
Ik moet altijd aan George Baker denken als het over het over Anna Paulowna gaat - maar dit keer vertoon ik er onze film! 25 april om 20u. Hoop je daar te ontmoeten! twitter.com/zwerfieannap/s…
Super mooi! twitter.com/070KlimaatPact…
Valt #ajax tegen of hou je niet van voetbal? Kijk @nieuwsuur!
