RT @GreenpeaceNZ: #BREAKING
In the final hours of the #Inc5 Plastic Treaty negotiations in Korea, Greenpeace activists from the Rainbow Warrior have boarded a tanker set to load toxic plastic chemicals from South Korea’s Hanwha TotalEnergies complex.

They are urging governments to resist fossil fuel and petrochemical industry interference in the talks and to deliver a treaty that firmly cuts plastic production, which on current trends is set to triple by 2050.

We are taking direct action here today – stopping this plastic shipment – to urge world leaders to listen to the voices of the millions of people around the world, along with scientists and businesses - who are demanding they cut plastic production to stop plastic pollution,” said Alex Wilson, Greenpeace UK climb team volunteer.

They continued, “As we protest here, petrochemical industry lobbyists are out in force in Busan. They are using their power, money and access to try to ensure that the treaty fails to do what it must – turn off the tap of plastic production.
Whether the treaty cuts plastic production has become one of the most contentious issues of the negotiations. Despite growing concerns about plastic’s impacts on health and the environment, production has continued to increase. This growth will consume at least 21-31% of the remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5°C (5). Greenpeace estimates that to keep within the carbon budget requires at least 75% cuts in plastic production by 2040.

Plastics are everywhere – in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink.

Toxic substances leach into our bodies. It’s happening all around the world. The solution? A Global Treaty to #StopPlasticPollution.

🥤It's hard to quantify the amount of #plastic waste b/c much of it is invisible. Still, it causes irreversible—or fatal—harm to wildlife.
