IDEA! When leaving a #supermarket, remove all #plastic packaging that you don't need & put it in the supermarket's bin. If we all did this, bins would still fill up and cause a real headache & a cost #peoplepower @Greenpeace @GreenpeaceUK @guardian @BoyanSlat #endplasticpolution

4. @Oxfam found itself in a storm in part b/c it documented its cases better than most. Donors shouldn't punish aid orgs for being transparent, says former head of @theOFDA @JeremyKonyndyk. In fact, orgs that report no incidents of abuse should raise red flags in donors' eyes.

An extremely high proportion of aid agency publicity draws attention to what they are doing for affected populations. Very little of it publicizes what people are doing for themselves. And when it does, it tends to be in the form of 'human interest stories'.
