John,
BP and Exxon are scared out their minds. They’ve banked their future on
plastic – and now governments want to phase it out.
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 who livelihoods have been shattered by
pollution.
This is the last, best shot to save the world from plastic pollution. Can
you chip in now?

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?
