Small island nations should incorporate and sue these companies through GATT at the WTO. Great video. I feel also that modern neuroticism and germophobia are related to this overreliance on plastic packaging.
The only way at this point is with a lot less of us humans on it. Human over population is our main problem today and the reason for a majority of our own problems. It took us thousands of years for our population to reach 2 billion. In just the past 100 years, we've added 6 billion more. That is just insane. We're destroying more now at a much faster rate and our population keeps growing. We really are just a virus with feet on this planet.
Great video. Question: Is a treaty the best way of dealing with the plastic problem? This sounds like years of circular negotiations, like COP. If companies like Coca-cola, Pepsico, Nestle and Unilever and producing a large amount of this plastic, why not target them harder as they are big public brands vulnerable to consumer pressure? From that big visual campaign, you could get wider cultural change too.
Hi! I appreciate this video, but what can we do? Can you please include a link or how to use a hashtag or maybe who to DM to push them to sign the Plastics Treaty?
Recycling is definitely important, especially for glass and metal which can be reused. But simply too much plastic is being produced than we could ever hope to recycle - even if it was possible to do so. The only way out of this mess is to cut single-use plastic production and use
Not all plastic can be recycled back to the same products - especially when it comes to plastic touching food or drinks. More than that, the recycled plastic world wide can be measured in just a few percents, and the rest of it is either in landfills, being burned, shipped to poorer countries, polluting everywhere.
Glass, aluminium and PET plastic can in theory be recycled, but only around 9% of the plastic is being successfully recycled. The rest is dumped in landfill, is shipped to other countries or incinerated, which still releases CO2 and toxic chemicals to varying degrees. Forty four per cent is single use plastic, much of which could be eliminated if governments worked together to overcome the objections of giant corporations such as Chevron, Exxon, Coca Cola and Nestle which control much of this $14 trillion dollar industry.
A treaty? are you dizzy? what you need are better design principles,,,,,, if a solution is designed of which creates another problem to tackle it should be seen as a design fail.....! funny how the elements of society able to do the most damage are also the least constrained....! Kinda exposes the extent of our off key priorities doesn't it.....!
Thank you for everything you are doing! Please keep fighting this necessary fight Greenpeace! ✌️

Those who sell plastic bottles gotta make them thinner to reduce plastic pollution. It would save costs too
The real global issue . Its in our bodies and earth , water supply , our oceans , air etc.. needs correction .
We will be hitting the grounds when you see one of us....please donate and show your support. 👊🏽💚✌
When external costs are deathly expensive, what should be done to those who produced them to their profits?
Change regulations.
Tell industry not people

It is a shame that silly videos on RUclips receive million views and such an important topic barely receives 10K view
Have been recycling plastic, aluminum and glass for years. You say that it's not being done. So what's up?

Ew, 16:9 crop.
Lots of claims.., yet no evidence. We’d to take their claims on faith. Yet another false religion.
I think you’re the one that is making a false religion
