The production of new plastics is also a HUGE problem for the climate.
99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels and plastic production could DOUBLE within the next 10-15 years, and TRIPLE by 2050 if the industry has its way.
We need a strong #PlasticsTreaty to turn off the tap.
@greenpeace
Could you please explain how plastics are bad for the climate? Is it their production? Turning fossil fuels into plastics alone can’t be the problem - plastics don’t emit any CO2.

@Muscaria @greenpeace It's not, directly. But plastics are a byproduct of oil refining and oil refining emits a shitload of GHG.
