Plastics don’t give us life, they destroy it. Ample evidence shows that plastics release toxic chemicals, accelerate the climate crisis, and harm wildlife and the ecosystems we depend on for a healthy planet. Yet, industry plans to triple plastic production by 2060. ⏰ We must act now. ⏰
🌏World leaders will again convene for the next round of Plastics Treaty negotiations in August at INC5.2. Corporate influence and petrostates want to make sure they continue our reliance on plastics. But at what cost?
Join us in demanding that world leaders negotiate an ambitious UN #PlasticsTreaty that:
🌿Has binding commitments
🌿Protects human rights, not corporate influence
🌿Reduces production of plastics and the use of toxic chemicals
🌿Promotes nontoxic and reuse solutions that can phase out single-use plastics

Carta de amor al plástico
It’s time to re-examine our toxic relationship with plastic. It may be heartbreaking, but this Valentine’s Day, make a pledge to refuse single-use plastic, for the planet and yourself.
Single-use plastics are items designed to be used only once and then discarded. 40 percent of plastics are created for single-use purposes, yet producing these items consume a significant amount of energy, water, and natural resources to be used for just a few minutes.
The majority of plastic is not recyclable and ends up polluting our oceans, killing wildlife, and harming our ecosystems. Plastics contain endocrine disruptors that are known to be harmful to human health. Plastic production and lack of plastic waste management disproportionately harms BIPOC communities.
This is a toxic relationship that we must end. We deserve better and so does the planet. Take the pledge and refuse single-use plastic! Visit www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org to make your pledge.
