The TPP Corporatocracy and Plastic Free July

from Earth Matters

This week features a speech by Sam Castro from Friends of the Earth's Economic Justice Collective about the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement and the ramifications for our environment.  The ISDS clause could have dire effects on the ability of community campaigns to stop destructive projects.  More plastic has been been produced in the first 10 years of this century than the whole of the last.  A huge amount makes it 's way to the oceans where it is predicted that there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050.  Founder of Plastic Free July Rebecca Prince Ruiz joins us. Guests: Sam Castro, Friends of the Earth Economic Justice Collective (www.foe.org.au) & Rebecca Prince Ruiz,  Plastic Free July (www.plasticfreejuly.org).
