International plastics treaty negotiations begin

For nearly three decades, the United Nations' "COP" process has attempted to negotiate and implement treaties on climate change.

This week, a similar process has begun to reduce plastic pollution across the planet — but it won't be easy.

As Global's Redmond Shannon reports, the consumption of plastics continues to grow despite threats to our environment and health.

More rules for ordinary people to follow while rich people continue life as normal

Take the billions of dollars spent on weather mods and clean it up.

[mystmoon]

Hold the companies that produce these containers and that buy it for their products to be on the market.
They all made their billions, now it’s time to pay for the clean up and disposal.
They should not been approved to sell a product if it is not biodegradable packaging.

[Jon-gmsn]

The producers and recyclers are 100% responsible not the common person

Biodegradable plastic can be made from hemp. Spit on Du Pont

And nothing will change. And green people will make more green money.

[RAM-dbti]

The world lived without plastic before so why do we have it ? Stop it we don’t need something we did not have before and I think we all can live without it. 😂😂😂ridiculous that human beings are allowed to damage this planet when there is no other planet to go to !

[MasiukA]

Such a short sighted society we are. And people think we are advanced.

[arkcon]

Problem is exclusively from China, India and Africa

No wonder my food tastes so fake over the years

We live longer than our ancestors, but we create more problems for the next generation. Humans right.
