Plastic Pollution Delusions: Divesting From Polluters and False Solutions Webinar

Join the Aotearoa Plastic Pollution Alliance and Mindful Money for a webinar kōrero about why some so-called ‘solutions’ to plastic pollution are really just part of the problem, and what we should be supporting instead.

With Plastic Free July having come and gone, and the sixth (and hopefully final) Global Plastics Treaty negotiation upon us, plastic pollution has been in the spotlight. And rightfully so: plastic pollution is present in all areas of the Earth; from floating in the moana to washing up on our beaches; inside the stomachs of seabirds; in our soils; our kai and our bodies.

We need urgent actions and solutions, but how do we ensure that the solutions, companies and kaupapa we choose to support aren’t making matters worse?

Following on from Break Free From Plastic’s False Solutions campaign during Plastic Free July, this online webinar will consist of short presentations from expert panelists, raising awareness of these false solutions.

Mindful Money will also discuss their findings in a new research report on ocean pollution, with time for kōrero and pātai/Q&A.
