The EU aims to be carbon-neutral by 2050 as part of the Green Deal agreed 4 years ago but a new study shows that although it will decrease carbon emissions in Europe, it will also increase carbon emissions outside of the EU by more than double the amount of carbon emissions saved by the Green Deal.

Ocean carbon in, biodegradable plastic out
Not-so-fun fact: our oceans hold 150 times more carbon dioxide than the Earth's atmosphere. Adding to that causes ocean acidification, which can disrupt marine food chains and reduce biodiversity.
