Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley and Rosario Dawson also joined Greenpeace in issuing a letter to the president, asking him to strengthen the U.S. position on the Global Plastics Treaty. “Plastics are killing us —and the planet. From the microplastics in our blood, to the plastic bottles clogging our oceans and beaches, to the oil and gas drilling used to make plastic.
99 percent of plastic is made from the fossil fuels that are poisoning people and driving global climate change, and yet corporations want to make more and more single use plastics, even though the truth is that only a tiny percentage of this plastic will ever be recycled,” Fonda said in a statement accompanying the letter. “The only real solution to this crisis is to stop making so much plastic in the first place. And that is why we are calling on world leaders gathered this week in Paris: Adopt a Global Plastic Treaty that caps plastic production. You have a once in a generation opportunity to turn off the plastic tap. We are counting on you. Our children and grandchildren are counting on you.”
Read the full letter below: Dear President Biden, We appreciate your leadership in securing a Global Oceans Treaty that creates a path to protecting 30 percent of our oceans by 2030.
