It's time for action against plastic pollution. ⚠️ Only 9% of plastic is recycled. ⚠️ If current trends continue, plastic production will triple by 2060. Today, a new negotiation begins toward a global agreement to end plastic pollution. Our priorities for the agreement ↓
A two-panel cartoon contrasts ocean pollution in the 19th and 21st centuries.

Left panel (19th Century): A clear blue ocean contains two fish and a single glass bottle floating on the surface with a note inside that says "HELP!".

Right panel (21st Century): The ocean is crowded with plastic bottles and trash, almost no clear water is visible. A fish trapped among the plastic debris is shouting "HELP!" in a speech bubble.
The cartoon highlights the dramatic increase in ocean pollution over time.

🇨🇦Happy Canada Day. I remember the decent, intelligent people of my childhood. Politicians, civil servants, humans with their human flaws who were committed to public service. We had political role models from three parties, people like Flora MacDonald, Joe Clark, Jean Chrétien, and Ed Broadbent. 🇨🇦♥️
