This Month's Focus: Environmental Justice & the Global Plastics Treaty

Action: Advocate for a Robust & Just Treaty!

The urgency for a strong global plastics treaty has never been greater to combat planetary pollution and environmental injustices. Fossil fuel and petrochemical companies are poisoning our planet and people with plastic on an unprecedented scale. Communities living near plastic production and disposal sites – often marginalized and without political influence – bear the brunt of the damage, despite being the least responsible for creating the problem. As our blue planet and people worldwide suffer, it’s time to turn off the fossil fuel tap that produces plastic in the first place.

This month, you can help make sure we get a strong treaty! 

Together, we can ensure that national leaders and stakeholders uphold their commitments to protect the health of people and communities most harmed by the life cycle of plastic and also for the well-being of all life with whom we share our blue planet. Now is the time to engage them as they prepare for the final  treaty negotiations in August!
