Plastic packaged ready meals are a warning sign of a much bigger problem.
We need a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic production, eliminates toxic chemicals, and protects people’s health, not corporate profit.
Tell your government you want them to back it:

Microplastics are EVERYWHERE on Earth, from the Sahara Desert to Arctic sea ice.
They are now in the AIR we breathe.
This plastic is not coming from outer space.
It comes from petrochemical corporations and big brands with names and addresses.
You cannot clean up a flood without TURNING OFF THE TAP.
Governments must deliver a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty that CUTS PLASTIC PRODUCTION at the source and makes polluters pay.
Every delay means more plastic in our lungs, food and water.

Business as usual is a POLITICAL CHOICE. And it is deadly.
It means over 8 million people will lose their lives every year due to air pollution.
It means climate change could cause up to 15.6 million deaths by 2050.
It means plastic production set to triple by 2060, locking in pollution for decades.
This is not failure. It is a system designed to protect polluters, not people.
There are solutions.
💰 #TaxTheSuperRich to fund a green and fair transition.
🛢️ #MakePollutersPay for the damage they cause and support climate-impacted communities.
🏭 A strong global #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic production at source.
Let’s RESIST corporate greed and big polluters in every way we can, and push for real and fair solutions.
A garbage truck of plastic every second by 2040.
Microplastics in our lungs, blood and even brains.
This is what happens when production keeps rising unchecked.
The world need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that cuts plastic at the source and protects people, not petrochemical profits.
Recycling is a toxic lie.
Big brands and petrochemical corporations keep selling the public a convenient and comforting story to hide the hard truth: they simply have to STOP PRODUCING SO MUCH PLASTIC.
Recycling was never designed to solve the plastics crisis.
Industry sold a myth while plastic production kept rising.
We need governments to cut plastic at the source and secure a strong #PlasticsTreaty that puts people and planet over profits.
