Environmental activists closed the Forth Road Bridge near Edinburgh by abseiling to block a tanker carrying fracked gas. Greenpeace coordinated this demonstration, accusing the firm involved of sabotaging an upcoming global plastics treaty vote. They advocate for a 75% reduction in global plastic production by 2040 and criticize the inclusion of fossil fuel lobbyists in treaty negotiations. Greenpeace UK highlights the urgent crisis of plastic pollution affecting land, oceans, and bodies, emphasizing the importance of the treaty as a critical moment for change.
Environmental activists have caused the Forth Road Bridge near Edinburgh to close, after abseiling off the side of it in order to block a tanker carrying fracked gas.
Greenpeace has accused the firm of attempting to sabotage a global plastics treaty which is set to be voted on in less than a fortnight by UN member states in Switzerland.
Amy Cameron, programme director at Greenpeace UK said: Plastic pollution has reached a crisis point: it's poisoning our land, seas, air, even our bodies.
Greenpeace is calling for talks to agree to a cut in global plastic production of at least 75 per cent by 2040.
