Analysis of Popular Social Media Topics Regarding Plastic Pollution
Researchers applied five topic modelling techniques including LDA, HDP, LSI, NMF, and STM to 274,404 plastic pollution-related tweets to identify dominant public discourse themes on social media. The analysis revealed that certain techniques were more effective at capturing topic coherence and prevalence, providing policymakers with tools to understand public opinion and target environmental communication strategies.
Divergent shifts in public ecological attention following the COVID-19 pandemic
Researchers analyzed over a decade of social media data from South Korea to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped public attention to environmental issues including microplastics. The study found that the pandemic acted as a catalyst that restructured how people connect environmental topics, with public discourse around microplastics notably shifting toward more positive sentiment while climate crisis discussions became more negative.
Campaigning Environmental Conservation During the Pandemic: A Social Media Reception Analysis
This study analyzed how environmental conservation campaigns shifted to social media during COVID-19 lockdowns to maintain public engagement. Social media campaigns about plastic pollution have become important tools for raising awareness of microplastic contamination and motivating policy change.
A bibliometric analysis of climate change risk perception: Hot spots, trends and improvements
A bibliometric analysis of 4,429 articles on climate change risk perception identified major research themes, leading authors, institutions, and trending topics from 1990 to the present. The analysis showed rapid growth in this field after 2015 and identified gaps in research from lower-income countries and on social media-mediated risk communication.
Beyond climate change? Environmental discourse on the planetary boundaries in Twitter networks
Researchers analyzed social media discussions on Twitter about planetary boundaries beyond climate change, including issues like chemical pollution and microplastics. They found that while climate change dominates environmental discourse online, discussions about other critical environmental boundaries receive significantly less attention. The study suggests that broader public awareness of interconnected environmental threats, including plastic pollution, needs to be cultivated.
Networks of climate obstruction: Discourses of denial and delay in US fossil energy, plastic, and agrichemical industries
Researchers analyzed social media activity from major US fossil fuel, plastics, and agrichemical corporations to map how these industries coordinate messaging that delays climate and environmental action. The study found shared narratives across all three sectors that promote continued fossil fuel extraction, with implications for how policymakers understand and counter organized opposition to environmental regulation.
Peran Media Sosial Dalam Meningkatkan Kesadaran Lingkungan Di Kalangan Milenial
This literature-based study analyzed the role of social media in raising environmental awareness among millennials, including awareness of issues like plastic pollution and climate change. Researchers found that social media is effective at deepening understanding of environmental issues through influencer engagement, interactive content, and social campaigns. However, challenges such as misinformation, algorithmic bias, and superficial engagement limit its positive impact on promoting sustainable behaviors.
What influences public support for plastic waste control policies and green consumption? Evidence from a multilevel analysis of survey data from 27 European countries
This multi-country survey across 27 European nations found that media use and country-level factors shape citizens' support for plastic waste policy and green consumption. People who consumed environmental news from diverse media sources were more likely to support plastic reduction policies and adopt green behaviors. The findings have implications for designing effective public communication strategies about plastic pollution.
COVID-19 and the emerging research trends in environmental studies: a bibliometric evaluation
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of 495 environmental science publications from the COVID-19 pandemic era, identifying key research trends including environmental quality assessment, increased chemical disinfectant exposure, worsening solid waste management, and strategies for post-pandemic urban planning. The study maps how the pandemic reshaped environmental research priorities and revealed both temporary environmental improvements and new pollution challenges.
What are the valuable lessons from global research on environmental literacy in the last two decades? A systematic literature review
This paper is not about microplastics; it is a systematic literature review of global research on environmental literacy in education over the past two decades, analyzing publication trends and teaching approaches.
The Role of Online Media in Promoting Pet Well-Being During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Sustainability Perspective
This study analyzed how online media shaped coverage of pet well-being information during the COVID-19 pandemic, examining the role of digital platforms in educating pet owners about responsible animal care during lockdowns. The research assessed the sustainability and public health implications of media-driven pet ownership guidance.
Media coverage, attention cycles and the governance of plastics pollution
This study analyzes how media coverage and public attention cycles affect governance responses to plastics pollution. Researchers found that heightened media attention has increased public engagement with plastics issues, but the coherence and durability of public pressure remains questionable. The study suggests that policymakers can leverage attention peaks to initiate longer-term reforms, and that reframing plastics as an economic and health issue may help sustain public concern.
Public perceptions of climate change and health – A cross-sectional survey study
Researchers conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess public perceptions of the links between climate change and human health, examining awareness of how rising temperatures, extreme weather, air pollution, and environmental degradation affect morbidity and mortality. The study found variable levels of public understanding across demographic groups, with implications for health communication and climate policy engagement.

Media Coverage of Sustainable Fashion: a Linguistic Perspective
This linguistic analysis examines how media coverage frames sustainable fashion, finding that despite growing attention to environmental issues in the fashion industry, there remains a significant gap between theoretical discourse and practical implementation of sustainable practices.
Is it all talk: Do politicians that promote environmental messages on social media actually vote-in environmental policy?
A study of UK politicians found that the frequency of environmental messages on Twitter does not reliably predict whether politicians will vote for pro-environmental legislation. While some correlation existed, many politicians who posted environmental content did not follow through with consistent policy votes. The findings suggest social media environmental messaging may be more performative than predictive of actual policy commitment.
Twitter data analysis to assess the interest of citizens on the impact of marine plastic pollution
Analysis of approximately 140,000 tweets about marine plastic pollution found that public engagement peaked in response to high-profile events like media reports and plastic ban announcements, with most activity from non-expert users sharing alarming content, while scientific accounts generated less engagement, suggesting that science communication strategies need rethinking.
