Hundreds of environmental campaigners marched in the Kenyan capital Nairobi yesterday demanding drastic curbs on plastic production, ahead of a meeting to negotiate a global plastics treaty.
Representatives from more than 175 nations will meet in Nairobi tomorrow to negotiate what concrete measures should be included in a binding worldwide treaty to end plastic pollution.
Marchers called for the talks to focus on cutting the amount of plastic produced and waved placards reading “Plastic crisis = climate crisis” and “End multigenerational toxic exposure”.
They chanted “Let polluters pay the price”
