It's the elevent hour for negotiating a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty in South Korea. 58% of our waste plastic ends up incinerated, making it a fossil fuel. That's why Sami, our #climatechange fighting polar bear, wants @SteveReedMP to bring back a strong treaty.

The lastest stage of negotiations for a #GlobalPlasticsTreaty begin in Busan, South Korea today. With just 17% of our plastic being recycled, and 58% being incinerated, people in Manchester want @SteveReedMP to get us a deal that starts to reduce the amount produced.
