From Africa’s parks to its rivers, plastic pollution is everywhere, eaten by our livestock, harming animals like turtles and seabirds, it’s in the air we breathe and the food we eat. Plastic isn’t just destroying our natural world, It’s driving the planet further into the climate crisis, over 99% of plastic is made from dirty fossil fuels, and we keep making more. We can change this, but we need to act now.
We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to call for a strong Global Plastics Treaty that will keep oil and gas used to produce plastic in the ground and stop big polluters with their relentless plastic production.
Governments around the world have finally agreed to come to the table to talk about a global, legally-binding Plastics Treaty.
This treaty could put us on the path to a plastic-free future, but we have to make sure our governments deliver for people across the world and at home in Africa.
