At a pre-World Environment Day film screening at the EU Parliament on 26 April, Dorothée Adam's film "Dear Plastic - A Toxic Love Story" sent a strong message that we should all drastically reduce our consumption of plastic products. It is a call to Beat Plastic Pollution.
In the ensuing panel discussion, Veronika Hunt Safrankova, Head of UNEP Brussels Office, emphasized the importance of ongoing negotiations to prepare a global Plastic Agreement that will address the whole life cycle of plastic. She also highlighted the focus of World Environment Day 2023 -"Solutions to Plastic Pollution”, which seeks to inspire governments, cities, industries and individuals alike, to reduce and rethink their plastic consumption.
