I miss you already, David. Your work has been brilliant and inspiring. Thank you!!

#PlasticsTreaty It’s extremely worrying to hear about intimidation and harassment of scientists by industry at #INC4 . The #right2science requires protection for scientists. There should be zero tolerance for industry misconduct.

Plastics know no border.

Every living being & every part of the planet are harmed by plastics & their production.

To #BeatPlasticPollution , we need a strong #PlasticsTreaty that upholds human rights & addresses the full life cycle of plastics.

#PlasticPollution is inextricably linked to adverse #HumanRights impacts.

Join this dialogue discussing the capacity & responsibilities of #businesses involved in #plastics to respect human rights throughout the value chains.
