Greenpeace: Sign the petition calling on the UN to ban #FossilFuel lobbyists from the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty negotiations..

Big polluters like Shell are making billions turning fossil fuels into plastic, and now they’re trying to sabotage talks that could finally tackle plastic pollution. They’ve packed the talks with lobbyists who are pushing to weaken the deal.

If we don’t act, they could block our historic chance to cut plastic production at the source and stop plastic from choking our oceans and communities.

But if enough of us speak out, we can keep polluters out of the talks and protect the treaty.
