🌊🚮 Ocean trash, especially plastic, is a massive problem we can solve together. Let's wake up to our plastic consumption's impact on marine life.

Check out the below infographic for eye-opening insights and a path to change. 🐬🌎

From plastic mulch films to ear tags to greenhouses, plastic products are widely used in agriculture.

They often end up abandoned in our soils & aquatic environments, threatening our ecosystems & food security.

Here's how we can change this ⬇️

#BeatPlasticPollution

Delighted to have been part of shiftplastics AQUANOR team this year with Julia Olsen and NTNU colleagues - chatting with many Aquaculture farmers on their views of plastic pollution mitigation for the industry and transitioning to more circular economic practices

After many years as secretary for the Royal Geographical Societies Rural Geographers Research Group and all things this encompasses, I now hand over to Aimee Morse (CCRI) and wish her the best in the role

Was great to be convening and presenting at a session at the RGS Conference in London. SHIFTPLASTICs project took centre stage as a case study on plastic pollution mitigation and circular value chain development for fisheries & aquaculture sectors in Norway.

How can the global community address plastic pollution and what will it take to achieve a circular economy for plastics?

Use less plastic and recycle ♻️ the plastic you must use.

Take a look at this Lazy Person’s Guide to #SaveOurOcean : un.org/sustainabledev…

👉Did you know that only 10 percent of the plastic ever made has been recycled?

A recent study suggests that the amount of plastic in the ocean has reached an unprecedented level in the last 15 years.

Call for papers for the RGS international conference (London 29th Aug-1st Sept) for session on:
The true cost of decarbonising rural spaces: challenges and opportunities of the 21st century( deadline for CfPs 20th March 2023). Abstract link

We have extended the call for papers for Ethics of the Digital hosted by Digital RGS (DGRG) and CAMRI Media Research until 1st March - we wanted to give those who have been striking more time to submit: camri.ac.uk/blog/2022/12/0…

Languages are important for development and advancing the #GlobalGoals ' focus on leaving no one behind.

Yet, many languages spoken today are under threat or disappearing altogether.

On #MotherLanguageDay , tell us how you say 'Earth is our only home' in your mother language ⬇️

Very proud of this project - SHIFTPLASTICs (redesigning service model value chains in plastic use in fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Norway) - excellent 27 partner collaboration team which I am priveleged to lead WP in co production shiftplastics.com/arbeidspakkar

The RGRG is calling for papers for sessions at the RGS (with ibg) 2023 (London): Session 'The true cost of decarbonising rural spaces: challenges and opportunties of 21st Century -see here rgrg.co.uk/the-true-cost-…

This was a great presentation at the recent celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Rural Geography Research Group (RGRG) RGS-IBG . I missed suggesting titles in advance, but I've been thinking since and here's my selection of notable books in or for rural studies over the last 50 years. 1/17
