Moving together for the climate Climate action is necessarily collective – about finding something that feels possible, bringing other people along and building momentum together.That’s the idea behind Pledge for the Planet. From 13 to 15 November 2026, its 48 Hour Mission will bring sports clubs, community groups and teams together for an action-packed weekend of movement, practical pledges and friendly competition.Anyone can take part, whether you’re part of a sports club, community group, movement crew or group of friends. You can join an existing team, create your own group or participate individually. You don’t need to be the fastest or fittest; there are ways to take part at every pace and ability. The Mission is free to join, and you can move together or take part from different locations.Read more:Future Super - 29 October 2026:www.futuresuper.com.au/blog/post/pledge-planet-48-hour-missionSign the pledge:www.pledgefortheplanet.org#climateactionthroughsports

Our communities. The places we call home.As The Sustainable Hour marks 13 years on air, Greenpeace Australia Pacific's Dr Simon Bradshaw joins us to discuss the future we can still shape – and why every fraction of a degree matters.“...there is so much more that we can and must fight to save.”From Pacific communities to the Surf Coast, we explore the choices that can protect what we love.

Plastic tea bags are releasing BPA, plasticizers and up to 2,500 microplastic particles into your cup of teaMicroplastics are now impossible to avoid. They have made their way into everything from agricultural soils to freshwater systems. So, it is unsurprising that they end up in most foods and drinks. However, some methods of packaging or serving these items can increase microplastic exposure even more. One such example is the plastic tea bag. While many tea bags are still made of a cellulose material, some brands use a plastic mesh, despite the well-established fact that plastics can break down in hot water.Medical Xpress - 27 October 2026:Plastic tea bags are releasing BPA, plasticizers and up to 2,500 microplastic particles into your cup of teamedicalxpress.com/news/2026-10-plastic-tea-bags-bpa-plasticizers.htmlNecla Pehlivan et al., Microplastic release from plastic tea bags versus bulk tea and migration of bisphenol A and plasticizer esters, npj Science of Food (2026). www.nature.com/articles/s41538-026-01175-x#microplastics
