It’s why oil giants just sent 196 lobbyists to Canada to try to scupper talks on a global plastics treaty. They’ll do anything to save themselves. But we’ve got a plan to hit back hard. If everyone reading this chips in the cost of a coffee, we can launch our own, people’s lobbying push ahead of the next, crucial round of talks in November, placing billboards outside the doors of key decision-makers, running ads naming and shaming politicians who take meetings with plastics giants, and represent the victims of plastic during the talks – like Indonesian fishing communities whose livelihoods have been shattered by pollution. This is the last, best shot to save the world from plastic pollution. Can you chip in now? [Donate $3]( another amount]( Every day brings new, worse news on plastic. One study just found microplastics in every single testicle it sampled, and scientists say this could be driving a long-term drop in male fertility. But still plastic production rates are surging. This is the warped reality we live in, where the interests of a handful of corporations override every. single. other. thing. Even the future of humanity. We will never accept this as normal. That’s why we’re striking back, using our collective strength to fight step by step, piece by piece for a world free of toxic plastic pollution. And we need every single one of us. A strong global plastics treaty would be one of those epic turning points – when people everywhere get to glimpse a different, brighter future, and the world is galvanised into action. We’ve got a plan, a team, and we’re ready to hit go – but we can’t do it without you. Can you chip in now?
