Plastic. Is. EVERYWHERE.

plastic it's everywhere on our beaches in our oceans in our water in the air and now in us no matter how remote the spot you'll find it but it hasn't been here long plastic was born after world war ii and the waste has massively multiplied since the new millennium almost everything we buy is wrapped in plastic wrapped in more plastic pushed out by consumer corporations in partnership with chemical corporations and our old friend fossil fuel because as shiny and clean as it looks plastic is oil but that's not a problem if we just recycle right not when we find us being dumped anyway or burnt or dumped in other countries and then dumped again or burnt and as ever more plastic enters the system only a tiny fraction ever gets recycled there's no shortage of green marketing often just to sell more plastic but although some efforts are being made to clean up the mess we need to stop the flood at its source the question is how a global treaty is the first chance for big brands governments and people to come together find solutions to end this plastic crisis and rid ourselves of a system that profits from the mess because a problem that's everywhere needs the help of everyone you
