Plastics are fossil fuels in another form & pose a serious threat to human rights, the climate & biodiversity. As negotiations towards an agreement to #BeatPlasticPollution continue, I call on countries to look beyond waste and turn off the tap on plastic.

(1/3) In recent years, the world's largest brands have made headlines with promises to reduce plastic usage. Hundreds of companies signed the Global Commitment, pledging to make 100% of packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025. Was this a load of greenwashing?

Waiting for that gavel moment and looking fresh at #UNEA5 💅 Honestly I can't imagine a better group to do all nighters and snack runs and late night whiskey debriefs with. We are all rooting for the #PlasticsTreaty resolution to be adopted 🤞 – at Nairobi, Kenya
