Today is World Environment Day, John. 🌍 And this year, the spotlight is on one of the biggest threats to our planet: plastic pollution.
Last year alone, over 400 million tons of plastic was produced globally. And with production set to triple by 2060, polluters are opening the floodgates to a wave of plastic suffocating the ocean and its vital ecosystems.

 |
|
The toxic tide of plastic pollution is rising. But so are we. We're taking on the profiteering polluters and broken systems keeping us trapped in plastic. No more pointing fingers at consumers. It's time to hold the real culprits to account. ✊
So we're launching The People vs Plastic – our biggest campaign yet to end this crisis. Together, we can turn the tide, and end plastic pollution for good. 💪
