Pupils tell MPs to cut plastic production
35 primary school pupils from 12 schools across the UK met with MPs in the Houses of Parliament. They talked about taking part in The Big Plastic Count, why they care about reducing plastic pollution, and why we need a strong Global Plastics Treaty that cuts plastic production.
Synopsis - The video starts with a Greenpeace campaigner saying that almost 29,000 school pupils and more than 77,000 households took part in The Big Plastic Count. We then see three pupils carrying placards outside Big Ben, with messages about stopping plastic pollution. The next scenes take place in a large room, and we hear from different pupils about why they care about reducing plastic pollution and how they found taking part in The Big Plastic Count. We hear from a teacher about how shocked she and her class were to learn that UK households collectively throw away almost 1.7 billion pieces of plastic packaging per week. The Director of Everyday Plastic talks about how great it is to have the children in Westminster grilling MPs. We see them take part in different activities to learn about how Parliament and the UN treaty making process work. We then see them make collages out of plastic, and write poems about plastic. They then go to the Houses of Parliament and talk to lots of MPs. MPs also talk about what they see as the solutions to dealing with too much plastic, and about how they like hearing from the children. The video finishes with the same Greenpeace campaigning saying that the results of The Big Plastic Count show that we need a strong Global Plastics Treaty. She thanks everyone who took part.

    Dove spends millions on marketing trying to convince parents that they care about our kids and that they’re a brand we can trust to make our kids feel good about their bodies. Don’t fall for it. They care about their profits. Not our kids. We have to do our part to prevent our kids from inheriting a planet polluted by money-hungry corporate giants.

    PLEASE HELP and send the letter below Calling for an END to the Province of BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA’s WOLF SLAUGHTER The provincial wolf cull program is unsustainable, unscientific, unethical, and unacceptable to British Columbians. Since 2015 the B.C. government has spent over 10.1 million tax dollars killing 2,192 wolves. B.C.’s wolf cull program is an ecologically, economically, and ethically offensive approach to wolf “management”. Apex predators like wolves help regulate species health and play a critical role in maintaining a functioning ecosystem. From songbirds to the shape of rivers, wolves have a profoundly important place in the food web and the landscape yet they are being killed by the hundreds every year by the B.C. government. The Province continues to allow logging and fragmentation of critical habitat in endangered caribou herd areas while scapegoating wolves as the culprits of the caribou’s decline. 136,229.07 square kilometres of habitat have been lost within caribou herd ranges due to human disturbances. This habitat loss has steadily increased since provincial and federal governments were tasked with caribou recovery in 2003. According to researchers, without protecting and restoring the old-growth forest that caribou depend on, the wolf cull is at best a “palliative measure.” Killing wolves stalls the push for true protective recovery. Experts in Alaska are reporting that the Mulchatna caribou herd populations continued to decline despite decades of wolf and bear killing. The provincial wolf cull program is unsustainable, unscientific, unethical, and unacceptable to British Columbians. Learn more about Pacific Wild’s SaveBCWolves campaign. Send a letter today to demand an end to B.C.’s wolf cull program. If you don’t live in Canada, you can copy-paste the text in the letter below (or write your own message) and send it to the following people: Honourable Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship, Nathan Cullen, WLRS.minister@gov.bc.ca Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada, Steven Guilbeault, Steven.Guilbeault@parl.gc.ca Premier of British Columbia, David Eby, premier@gov.bc.ca

    We all do our bit but big business is lagging behind (no surprise, given who's in power in the UK). They could solve this problem overnight. If there is a better alternative to plastic, they should use it. If there is a better plastic alternative (one that can be re-used or recycled) they should use that. Consumer organisations like Which? should be given powers to prosecute offenders if they can prove a company hasn't done enough and the companies fined a significant percentage of their profits for that product.

    • @itsmegfc1743
      @itsmegfc1743 Před 23 dny

      There is no better alternative to plastic. Especially when you take the whole life cycle into account. Education around littering, Governmental support to increase recycling rates and not paying companies for exporting the waste. Big business is actually doing quite a lot but can do more, they definitely are not lagging behind.
