Plastics are made of oil or fracked ethane. The #FossilFuel industry is looking to plastics as their future income stream. Not surprisingly:
At negotiations to end #PlasticPollution, delays "manufactured" by oil-rich countries "left little time to discuss the actual ins and outs of the future #plastics treaty — including whether to reduce plastic production, how to fund the implementation of the treaty, and whether to ban certain single-use plastic products."
Frontline communities urgently need an end to #PlasticPollution .
"Communities on the frontlines of any part of the #plastic lifecycle, from oil extraction to trash dumps and everywhere in between, are hit with a trifecta of injustice: plastic pollution, social #injustice, and the #climate crisis. The plastic deluge that is left after every climate-crisis-fuelled storm only reinforces this point."
