Young people are heavily affected by plastic pollution, and we can contribute to the success of a Global Plastics Treaty. I would highly encourage everyone to get involved in any way you can, and make sure your voice is heard, because it matters.
The urgency of this issue cannot be overstated. Every day we delay action, more plastic accumulates in our environment. The Global Plastics Treaty is not just an agreement – it's a commitment to preserving the health of our planet for generations to come. Let's seize this moment and create meaningful, lasting change.
