PLASTIC POLLUTION
TREATY

Plastic pollution is a global problem that demands a global solution. To end the plastic crisis, governments must adopt a treaty that includes global bans on the most harmful and unnecessary plastics products.

We have used more plastic in the first 20 years of this century than we did the last half of the 20th century.
