Keeping civil society out of the room during the #PlasticsTreaty negotiations curbs public participation, limits transparency, and suppresses the voices of people most impacted by the plastic pollution crisis. Do better, @UNEP.
That @UNEP secretariat is fine with having allowed 5 people per accredited NGO to register and pay for a very expensive trip&stay in Paris to attend the #PlasticsTreaty nego, but now allows only 1 out of 5 of them to ENTER the venue is simply outrageous 😡 #pollutersout #NGOsIN

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

Let’s get something REALLY clear. People who are able to, & choose to, walk and/or bike for transportation in cities are doing ALL OF US a big favour. Doing so saves public money & public space, improves traffic for everyone, pollutes less, mitigates climate change, & MORE. 1/2
