PLANT works with partners in Brazilian Amazonia and in sub-Saharan Africa.
“Human and Earth Rights mirror the faces of the vulnerable;
They are a discomfort to the powerful;
They are continuously translated into policy by the struggles of the excluded;
They bring justice closer to our world, our common home” ... PLANT

NEW! Plastic Atlas: Facts & Figures about the World of Synthetic Polymers
Henrich Böll Stiftung ... Nov 2019
“Originally derived from fossil mineral oil and gas, and mixed with hazardous additives, plastic has the
potential to remain on the land or in the ocean for hundreds of thousands of years. In the sea, plastic
litter threatens marine organisms, especially fish, seabirds, and marine mammals. On land, the health
effects and other impacts of plastic gradually breaking down and seeping into the soil or entering food streams are still being researched.”
