Planet vs Plastics, Earth Day 2024

Planet Vs Plastics

Dear Lord, Forgive us for contaminating this world. Help us to find our way forward to respect, protect and live together as one on this planet. This image is from our own home city. We are shamed.

This Earth Day find your way to protect and renew our environment and global health. Consider signing the Global Plastics Treaty now. This link will take you there.

Working together, the world can:

  • Support a highly ambitious Global Plastic Treaty that binds all to the same standards;
  • Achieve 60% of reduction of all fossil fuel-based plastic production by 2040;
  • Require producers and retailers of plastics to be liable for the cost of any environmental or health-related damages in accordance with the “producer pays” principle;
  • Encourage public and private sector investments in innovation to replace all fossil fuel-based plastics;
  • Ban all plastic-related tobacco products including, but not limited to tobacco filters and e-cigarettes;
  • Ban the export of plastic waste;
  • End the incineration of plastic waste;
  • Support innovative solutions and alternatives to plastic in all sectors;
  • Fully-financed education and public awareness campaigns to inform the public about reasons and strategies for ending plastic pollution.
