SCRIPT:
Plastic has been a solution. It has given humanity: convenience, affordability, utility.
However, the durability of plastic is both its benefit and its curse. Plastic pollution endures. It’s suffocating our planet.
We have seen solutions that work: rejecting single-use plastics, enforcing bans on single-use plastics, creating circular and sustainable alternatives, managing plastic waste more efficiently.
Together, let’s create systems to better reuse, reduce and recycle.
Together, Let’s push for an ambitious global agreement to end plastic pollution.
Together, Let’s demand governments and businesses
act, commit and set new standards.
Use your voice and your choice
to #beatplasticpollution
Let’s do better.
