Nick ScottCould someone please tell me why our new government seems determined to follow the same failed strategy as the previous one for growing the economy. Surely they've noticed that pumping more money into the South East isn't working.

Organizers Fight The Greenwashing Of Plastic Pollution - PopularResistance.Org

Humans annually consume thousands of plastic particles and their harmful chemicals. The Global North dumps massive amounts of plastic waste on the Global South. Powerful corporate interests, especially in fossil fuels and petrochemicals, are driving the ongoing boom in plastics production. The plastics industry is pushing false solutions like chemical recycling, even as it’s clear that we can’t recycle our way out of this crisis.
