The fifth round of Global Plastics Treaty negotiations (INC-5) is happening on 25 November to 1 December 2024 in Busan, Republic of Korea. LEARN MORE!
Protect our planet! Last chance to join the call for a strong Plastics Treaty. SIGN THE PETITION NOW.
The next European Union Elections are scheduled to take place between 6 and 9 June 2024. EU citizens will turn to the ballot boxes to decide which Members of the European Parliament (MEP’s) will represent and advocate for the concerns of constituents at the EU level.
Europe is one of the largest producers and consumers of plastics worldwide. If we want the EU to tackle the plastics crisis, then we need a European Commision and European Parliament that is committed to delivering real solutions to protect people and the planet.
Join the #BreakFreeFromPlastic EU Elections Campaign to call for a new EU Government that prioritises the reduction of plastic production, tackles plastic pollution and gives precedence to the health and safety of people and planet.
Hi I am plastic free mermaid and even *I* have plastic in my home. 😌
I avoid plastic like the plague & freak out if someone tries to give my son plastic because I’ve been studying the link between plastic and human health for almost TWO DECADES. & I’m telling you, the science is really really bad, especially for CHILDREN. But even I cannot avoid it altogether.
It’s not my fault, it’s not your fault, it is our governments who cuddle up to uber wealthy, uber-powerful plastics corporations who are responsible for polluting our planet & our bodies with their cheap, ubiquitous plastic filth. Feels disempowering?? Not any more fam. RIGHT NOW we can finally do something about it.
The UN Plastics Treaty is being finalised at the end of this month & all you need to do is let people know about it. 🧠💫
Read the e-book linked in my bio & please share this link.
If you have felt frustrated & like you cannot make a difference, now is the time. & all you have to do is talk about the #plasticstreaty
Post stories, post reels, send emails, have chats, read the e-book aloud with friends & discuss dense, tricky bits, send this or share this with your networks, etc. I know it can be a dark place on the internet sometimes, so spread this message of HOPE that we can actually make a lasting difference on this one—at the GLOBAL level.
Please ask any questions below ❤️ Thank you for getting active on this. There are a lot of causes, but not every day do we have the opportunity to make a GLOBAL PLASTICS TREATY! #PlastSick #NoPlasticsPlease

담배꽁초도 플라스틱이다🔥
🌊 담배꽁초는 해양 미세플라스틱의 주요 원인 중 하나! 10명 중 7.5명이 길에 버리는 담배꽁초, 바다로 흘러가 해양 생태계를 위협하고 있어요!
🔍 담배 필터의 실상
대부분 플라스틱 필터로 만들어진 담배, 10년 이상 분해되지 않는다는 사실! 해양 생물에게도, 결국 우리에게도 그 피해가 돌아옵니다!
🌍 생산자의 책임 강화
EU는 이미 담배 필터를 해양오염의 주범으로 보고 있어요. 프랑스 등 주요 국가들은 생산자 책임을 법적으로 강화하고 있고요. 우리나라는 아직 많이 미흡하지만.. 국제 플라스틱 협약을 통해 변화하기를 기대해봅니다!
🤝 작은 움직임이 만드는 변화
국제 플라스틱 협약을 위해 170여개국의 정부대표단이
제5차 정부간협상위원회(INC-5)회의를
부산(11/25~12/01, BEXCO)에서 진행합니다.
플라스틱 오염 종식을 위한
법적 구속력 있는 협약을 촉구하기 위해서
시민들이 함께 모여 평화적인 행진을 합니다!
2024년 11월 23일 오후 2시
부산올림픽공원 에서 만나요! 🫶

Frankie Orona from societyofnativenations, Yuyun Ismawati (yuyundrwiega), co-chair of ipen_toxicsfree and co-founder & Senior Advisor of nexus3foundation, and Dr. Martin Wagner, Associate Professor for environmental toxicology at ntnu and member of the Scientists’ Coalition for an Effective Plastics Treaty, came together to discuss who has had a “seat at the table” during the course of the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. All emphasized the urgent need to amplify the voices of frontline communities, Indigenous Peoples, and independent scientists.

What we want out of #INC5. Plastics are 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.

Ces pompiers pyromanes ne nous berneront plus 🔥🚒
Le Guardian vient de publier une analyse alarmante, basée sur une étude de Greenpeace.
Cinq géants du plastique, réunis dans une alliance soi-disant engagée contre la pollution, ont généré 1 000 fois plus de déchets plastiques qu’ils n’en ont éliminés ces cinq dernières années.
1 000 fois plus.
Pendant qu’ils nous vendent des opérations de nettoyage et des campagnes de recyclage, la majorité des plastiques qu’ils produisent finit dans la nature : rivières, océans, sols…
Ce n’est pas une solution. C’est une stratégie de diversion.
Le problème ne se règle pas avec des cleanups médiatisés ou des promesses creuses.
Il commence par une réduction massive à la source.
Pourtant des cleanups, nous en faisons avec Orléans Zéro Plastique. Pour mettre en lumière la pollution plastique qui est universelle et épingler les pollueurs !
Il faut arrêter de produire ces tonnes de plastique inutiles. Pas dans 25 ans. Maintenant.
Ces entreprises ne sont pas les sauveuses qu’elles prétendent être. Elles sont les pompiers pyromanes de notre époque.
Et nous, en tant que citoyens, devons leur demander des comptes.

Over half a MILLION people have called for an end to plastic pollution. It’s time for the government to act!
Yesterday, with the help of London school kids, we met with emmahardymp to deliver a message to her and stevereedlabour.
With the 5th round of UN negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty happening NEXT WEEK, strong support from the government is crucial right now. Thanks to 500,000 supporters, we made sure our voices were heard.
Next stop: the United Nations! We’ll be showing world leaders the GLOBAL support for reducing plastics - so make sure you’ve added your voice if you haven’t already.

In 2004, Dr. Richard Thompson`s ground-breaking research introduced us to "microplastics"—tiny plastic fragments that come from everyday items like clothing and packaging. Since then, studies have shown these particles are everywhere, even reaching human blood, the placenta, and the brain. 🧬
With over 7,000 studies confirming their impact, the evidence is clear: microplastics are a global issue that needs coordinated solutions. 🌎
As Dr. Thompson put it, “We’ve got more than enough evidence to stop defining the problem, and to move on to the solutions.” The upcoming Global #PlasticsTreaty is a critical opportunity to address the health and environmental impact of plastics at a systemic level. 🌊
The science has spoken, and solutions are within reach. But to protect our planet and our health, we need action now.
