I love that the Executive Director of UN Environment Programme took the time, in the freezing cold to interview me in front of my art, when many others don't even bother to credit. So grateful! #TurnOffThePlasticTap #INC4 #GlobalPlasticTreaty

As we near the end of the #INC4 global plastic treaty negotiations - it feels like low ambition countries are getting their way with intersessional work excluding work on plastic production :/

We need to keep the pressure up and demand that we #turnofftheplastictap on production

Great to see my art standing tall and proud ❤️❤️

“We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to profoundly change our relationship with plastics. We cannot waste it.'

Rapping with -VertigoFrmThe6th- and Steven Guilbeault at the epic Von Wong sculpture at the #INC4 Ottawa plastic conference hosted by UN Environment Programme and Environment Canada #PlasticsTreaty

#PlasticsTreaty partnership day, Von Wong: 'at UNEA, everyone was down to turn off the plastic tap and address plastic production from the source... but somehow, now, change has slowed down (…) Focusing on plastic pollution is not enough, we need to limit plastic production.'

We marched today to demand a strong and ambitious Global #PlasticsTreaty

Together with indigenous peoples, frontline communities, advocates, and concerned citizens from across the world we raised our voices to remind negotiators of what’s at stake at INC4.

🚨If plastic wins, we lose.🚫

That is a reality we will face unless we act.
