The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identified waste management as one of three sectors with the greatest potential to reduce temperature rise in the next ten to twenty years. As part of the 2015 Paris Agreement, national governments agreed to submit plans that explain what strategies their country will employ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the 1.5\u02daC target.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/South-Africa.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5526 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/South-Africa-300x217.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"396\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/South-Africa-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/South-Africa-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/South-Africa-630x456.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/South-Africa.jpg 885w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/a>In an open letter to COP-26 delegates, more than 300 GAIA member organizations demand that they close the emissions gap to ensure temperatures do not rise above 1.5\u00baC, exclude \u201cwaste-to-energy\u201d incineration from climate plans, stop petrochemical expansion, fossil fuel extraction, and reduce plastic production, and avoid schemes like carbon trading and offsets under the guise of a \u201cnet zero\u201d framework. World leaders must also hold the petrochemical and plastic polluter companies accountable for plastic pollution and climate change.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world\u2019s top plastic polluting corporations claim to be working hard to solve plastic pollution, but instead they are continuing to pump out harmful single-use plastic packaging\u201d, states Emma Priestland, Global Corporate Campaigns Coordinator for Break Free From Plastic states. \u201cWe cannot continue to rely on fossil fuels, including the significant amount of fossil fuels that are or will be turned into plastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The reduction of GHG emissions in the waste sector can be maximized through zero waste strategies, a comprehensive waste management approach that prioritizes waste reduction and material recovery. Due to policy and business strategies to drive redesign of products and delivery systems the access to reuse, repair, recycling, and composting can be increase. The zero waste circular economy requires a transitioning from a single-use to a reuse-based approach to products and packaging.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the climate crisis growing more urgent and deadly every day, governments are missing an important chance to employ zero waste as a common-sense, affordable strategy toward zero emissions and a sustainable economy\u201d, says Dr. Neil Tangri, Science and Policy Director at GAIA. \u201cEnding bad practices such as the burning of waste and the overproduction of plastic will create new job and business opportunities in reuse, repair, recycling, and organics treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waterbear.com\/\">WaterBear Network, <\/a>a free streaming platform for eco-concious films, wants to help bring these critical conversations into the public. As a symbol for the urgent need to make the transition to a circular economy, they created an art project. Messy is a five metre-long, three metre-tall, sustainably-built sculpture shaped like the iconic Loch Ness monster. With \u2018skin\u2019 made from recycled jeans, she is \u201cliving\u201d proof that, unlike the Loch Ness Monster, living a more circular lifestyle is easy and simple.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/641577625\" width=\"640\" height=\"564\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\n<p>The sculpture is created by artist Billie Achilleos in collaboration with WaterBear and MUD Jeans, the circular denim brand. Made of recycled jeans, Messy can be met in London\u2019s Grosvenor Square throughout COP26, from 1st November &#8211; 11th November. At the installation, visitors can donate their old jeans for upcycling.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: \u00a9\u00a0 Courtesy of WaterBear: John Phillips\/Getty Images, Shutterstock<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Video: \u00a9 Courtesy of WaterBear<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Glasgow, world leaders are going to make decisions about major global issues at COP26 that will impact us all.
