Did you know that about 8 percent of the world’s oil production is used to make plastic and power the manufacturing of it? And what's even more frightening is that figure is projected to rise to 20 percent by 2050.
With our guest, Delphine Lévi Alvarès, Global Petrochemicals Campaigner Coordinator for #BreakFreeFromPlastic, Center for International Environmental Law, we deep dive into what’s going on with plastic.
We discuss:
- How about 90% of plastic is made from fossil fuel and that plastic is the next frontier for the fossil fuel industry
- Where are we in terms of tackling plastic pollution?
- What is the Plastic Treaty? Where are we at with the negotiations?
- What can we expect for our future?
