@uanews watched it last night and it was truly magnificent in many ways but absolutely horrendous what was shown on Laysan island! #PlasticProduction needs to come to a grinding halt. #climatecrisis #contaminationkills #climateemerency #nomoreplastic
"#PlasticProduction has soared some 30-fold since it came into widespread use in the 1960s. We now churn out about 430m tonnes a year, easily outweighing the combined mass of all 8 billion people alive. Left unabated, it continues to accelerate: plastic consumption is due to nearly double by 2050. Now there is a chance that this huge growth will stop, even go into reverse. This month in Paris, the world’s governments agreed to draft a new treaty to control #plastics. The UN says it could cut production by a massive 80% by 2040." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/13/plastic-production-plastics-treaty-environmental-diplomacy
Whisper it, but the boom in plastic production could be about to come to a juddering halt

A proposed plastics treaty could join the rescue of the ozone layer as a landmark success, says specialist environment correspondent Geoffrey Lean
