Plastic pollution is a global problem, contaminating terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. Microplastics — plastic particles smaller than five millimetres in size — infiltrate and circulate in the global planetary dust cycle, water cycle and carbon cycle.
As climate change intensifies, we are now seeing cascading and compounding impacts and risks, including where extreme events coincide.
There’s no doubt that we’re seeing an increased frequency of catastrophic events around the world. But concerted, aggressive action needs to happen now to reduce the impacts and help avert catastrophe.
What can we do? Don’t give up.
Are you one of the increasingly large number of people seeking to minimise the environmental damage wrought when producing the food you eat?
For their development and well-being, children need information that both acknowledges the very troubling realities we are facing but also equips them to take action to change that future.
Authoritative reports about climate change can be difficult for non-scientists to understand. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change releasing new reports on mitigation and adaptation, we thought it would be helpful to clarify some of the most common terms used to describe climate change.
One of the largest sites of food waste is the home. In Australia, households throw out about 2.5 million tonnes of food each year. That equates to between A$2,000 and $2,500 worth of food per year per household. But there’s some good news.
We strongly believe that we have a social and moral responsibility to help raise awareness on sustainability to improve the well-being of people and our planet. Therefore, at Glimmer, one of our core goals is to amplify the importance of sustainability with integrity.
We’re amplifying public awareness about social and environmental sustainability, and the climate crisis, to inspire change, and positive action for a better world for all.
Join a community of like-minded people inspiring each other to live sustainable lives.
