The Global Plastics Treaty represents a unique and crucial opportunity for a worldwide coordinated initiative to effectively resolve the ongoing plastic pollution crisis at all stages of the life span of plastics. Nevertheless, there exists a risk of its potential dilution and corruption. We must unite together to advocate for an ambitious treaty, ensuring its effectiveness in mitigating the plastic pollution crisis.
As countries continue the negotiations, the pressure from civil society will be instrumental in ensuring that the treaty:
Help us spread the word about the Plastic Treaty!
Plastic is a growing crisis with a devastating impact on the environment and human life. This treaty is an opportunity to get it right.
These priorities ensure that the #PlasticsTreaty meaningfully addresses all aspects of the #PlasticsCrisis.

Earth Week Friday Challenge:
---> Buying the "Cheapest" is a very tempting purchasing strategy for all of us. But sometimes, paying a little extra for a product that will last longer, supports good ethical standards, and produces less pollutants is a worthwhile upgrade. Consider your purchases this weekend, and if you are able, pay a little more to: support small businesses, buy environmentally friendly products, eat sustainably produced food, or buy a long lasting non-fast-fashion product that you actually need instead of unnecessary impulse buys.

Alaska is home to 229 federally recognized tribes, and their cultures and livelihoods are critically under threat from the linked threats of climate change, plastics, fossil fuels, and petrochemicals.
Plastics are made from fossil fuels and chemicals, and the oil and gas industries are betting on plastics to grow their markets. Left unchecked, the petrochemical industry is projected to account for 50% of oil consumption by 2050. More plastics means more oil and gas and more health disparities for Indigenous Peoples.
This source-and-sink cycle results in increased health problems and food insecurity for Indigenous Peoples, as traditional food sources become scarce or contaminated. Earlier this year, microplastics were detected for the first time in the tissues of the Pacific walrus of the Bering and Chukchi Seas, an animal critical to the traditional diet of Indigenous Peoples of this region.

⚡NEW post ⚡ on the CHE Blog!
As plastics treaty negotiations continue in Ottawa, CHE director Kristin Schafer urges officials to resist pressure from the petrochemical industry and "take advantage of the multisolving opportunity before them" to protect communities from toxic chemicals AND address the climate crisis.
"These international processes can be a messy blend of political maneuvering, scientific evidence, advocacy, and savvy lobbying. And when it comes to plastics, the stakes are very high."

PLASTIC PRODUCTION 💨
New, peer-reviewed research shows a direct 1:1 correlation between increasing plastic production from FMCG companies and plastic pollution in the environment.
Further, only 56 companies are responsible for more than half of pollution globally - with Coca-Cola alone taking 11% of the share.
These companies, along with other plastics industry lobbyists are at #INC4 in Canada right now, trying to influence the outcome of the global #plasticstreaty They need to be stopped!
We are calling for a strong conflict of interest policy to be adopted at the negotiations - and you can too.

#PlasticsTreaty negotiations kicked off this week. It’s already looking like we’re going to have a bit of a challenge reaching an agreement to cover the full “life cycle” of plastics—but there’s still some promising moments so far with many countries speaking out FOR a Treaty that protects people’s health from toxic plastics.

It is crucial that activists fighting against the #ClimateCrisis and those fighting against the #PlasticsPandemic support and coordinate each other.
The lobbyists who oppose us are too powerful.
✊ One activist for all and all for one ✊
यह महत्वपूर्ण है कि जलवायु संकट के खिलाफ लड़ने वाले कार्यकर्ता और प्लास्टिक महामारी के खिलाफ लड़ने वाले कार्यकर्ता एक-दूसरे का समर्थन करें और समन्वय करें।
जो पैरवीकार हमारा विरोध करते हैं वे बहुत शक्तिशाली हैं।
✊ एक कार्यकर्ता सभी के लिए और सभी एक के लिए ✊
反对气候危机的积极分子和反对塑料流行病的积极分子必须相互支持和协调。
反对我们的说客太强大了。
✊ 人人为我，我为人人 ✊
Es crucial que los activistas contra la crisis climática y los activistas contra la pandemia del plástico se apoyen y coordinen entre sí.
Los grupos de presión en nuestra contra son demasiado poderosos.
✊ Un activista para todos y todos para uno ✊
من الأهمية بمكان أن يدعم الناشطون ضد أزمة المناخ والناشطون ضد جائحة البلاستيك وينسقون مع بعضهم البعض.
إن جماعات الضغط ضدنا قوية للغاية.
✊ ناشط واحد للكل والجميع للواحد ✊
É crucial que os activistas contra a crise climática e os activistas contra a pandemia do plástico se apoiem e coordenem entre si.
Os lobbies contra nós são demasiado poderosos.
✊ Um ativista por todos e todos por um ✊
Очень важно, чтобы активисты, выступающие против климатического кризиса, и активисты, выступающие против пластиковой пандемии, поддерживали и координировали свои действия друг с другом.
Лоббисты, выступающие против нас, слишком сильны.
✊ Один активист за всех и все за одного ✊
