Today, in #PlasticsTreaty #INC52 talks, ambitious countries are experiencing déjà vu as spoiler countries keep forgetting that the 2022 UNEA 5/14 resolution mandates a treaty that addresses the FULL lifecycle of plastics. [Sadly, we used this cartoon before. Still applies.]

To protect people's health, #PlasticsTreaty should regulate and finally ban harmful chemicals that can be released at any stage of the plastic life cycle, from production to #recycling and disposal @toxicsfree.bsky.social @hejsupport.bsky.social @ssnc.bsky.social @breakfreefromplastic.org
In a few days, Global #PlasticsTreaty negotiations will resume.

📣 Message your country’s Minister leading the negotiations to demand a strong Plastics Treaty:

#PFAS are raining down on #GreatLakes and accumulating in the most vital freshwater supply. Air, rain & runoff all play a role. Time for class‑wide regulation, cross-border action, stricter limits @hejsupport.bsky.social @toxicsfree.bsky.social newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...

Ahead of the Aug 2025 #PlasticsTreaty talks, delegates must act on @who.int @toxicsfree.bsky.social @hejsupport.bsky.social health&environment concerns in the treaty.
That means:
✅ Cap production
✅ Ban toxics
✅ Ensure accountability
✅ Reject broad exemptions

Diese ganze Story stinkt zum Himmel. Bojanowski konfrontiert niemanden von den Grünen, der SPD oder einen Umweltverband mit diesen Vorwürfen, sondern holt bei der "Initiative Transparente Demokratie" eine Stellungnahme ein - ein Verein, der GERADE EINMAL ZWEI WOCHEN EXISTIERT?
