Countries are negotiating a global #PlasticsTreaty to help #BeatPlasticPollution.
We need a fair deal that tackles the full life-cycle of plastics, reflects the @CIJ_ICJ Advisory Opinion on Climate Change & supports a shift away from fossil fuels.
🌏 #PlasticsTreaty NOW 📣
Today, poet Nikita Gill is with us in Busan, South Korea, at the final UN Plastics Treaty talks.
Alongside frontline activists, Greenpeace, @WWF & @brkfreeplastic she delivered our collective petition — signed by 2.9 million.
next week the world is supposed to finalise a treaty to tackle plastic pollution
so @EmmaEHoward and looked into the oil and chemical industry's alliance to 'end plastic waste' and found a PR & lobbying strategy — and 132 million tonnes of virgin plastic

Five oil and chemical firms made 1000 times more new plastic than the amount of plastic waste they cleared up -despite promising to end plastic pollution https://t.co/0vmhAbTIH5
Activists are blockading the entrances to @Unilever House, locking themselves onto barricades made of giant @Dove products and a subverted ‘Dead Dove’ version of their logo.
Why? Because behind Dove's empowering ads lies a SHOCKING truth...
The race to the fifth and final round of #PlasticsTreaty talks is in the final stretch, with negotiations in Korea later this year.
We demand world leaders go the distance and fight back against industry to deliver a treaty that cuts plastic production!

New study highlights how restricting bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) boosts seabed carbon storage and biodiversity! 📷📷 Implementing additional "Carbon Protection Zones" (CPZs) can also cut carbon and biomass losses significantly, promoting healthier marine ecosystems.

Only a few govts are blocking progress on the #plasticstreaty, but failure will belong to ALL! With just hrs left,@s_guilbeault@BjellandEriksen@MarinaSilva @State_E successful treaty must cut plastic production, eliminate dangerous chemicals, & ban throwaway plastic packaging.
Only 1.5 days of negotiations left at #INC4 for a #PlasticsTreaty. @GreenpeaceCA just dropped a powerful reminder outside the conference center to all delegates:
You can be on the right side of history. Protect our health and the planet!
Very excited to have helped set this up- our new polling shows 80% of people surveyed across 19 countries want to reduce plastic production. This is a chance for Member States to hear why it's so critical we fight for provisions in the plastics treaty that achieve this
There are millions of tons of plastic on the bottom of the ocean. It is being eaten by benthic marine life - which id in turn eaten by countless other species. Over a million sq km of seafloor are bottom trawled, recirculating it all. #BreakFreefromPlastic https://t.co/Uz7nvy8veX
🔥BREAKING: @Dove is adding fuel to the fire of the plastic pollution crisis, so we've taken a GIANT bottle to their HQ with messages from the women who are being harmed by their plastic waste.
@Dove talks about ‘Real Beauty’.
But they’re causing ‘Real Harm’.
Release: According to new figures released today by @Greenpeace, Unilever is selling 1700 highly-polluting plastic sachets every single second, fuelling the global plastic pollution crisis and dumping huge amounts of waste on countries in the Global South. https://t.co/m1zzFf3Npa
Only a handful of govts are blocking progress on the global #plasticstreaty but failure will belong to everyone. With just a few hours to go, we need @ShintaroIto205 @s_guilbeault@Teresaribera @State_E @SteffiLemke @BjellandEriksen to speak up for tackling plastic production.
