You are what you eat: the impact of ocean plastic on marine life and humans

You are what you eat.

An estimated 8 million to 10 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean each year.

Plastic in the ocean breaks down into microplastics which can cause serious environmental concerns because they can be eaten by marine life and can cause harm to humans.

The decisions we make in dealing with waste affect us all.

Merry Christmas in the age of climate change: Sicily’s new reality

Climate Change is causing average and peak temperatures to rise across the globe.

In Sicily, where we are based, temperatures are already exceeding even the more conservative estimates with projected increases of 3 degrees and exceptional peak temperatures in summer – Sicily holds the European temperature record of 48.8 degrees – and peak winter temperatures are also rising with 27 degrees recorded on 14th December 2022.

Celebrating a Tropical Christmas, therefore, is not simply a provocation, but a very likely reality of our near future. Christmas this year will be therefore a time for reflection on our impact on nature.
