The Challenge
NGOs take the easy path by making emotion-based appeals for donations, even though their claims are not grounded in reality, and even though their misinformation makes matters worse for future generations.
Even the former President of Greenpeace left in dismay and outed them for peddling lies for donations, as detailed in his books. He went on to say that other household name “environmental groups” have sold out and abandoned their original raison d’être and now run get rich quick schemes instead.
Well-intentioned people give their hard-earned money to these NGOs, and competitors to the plastics industry are only too happy to help fund them too.
The plastics industry has been slow to react against this attack. At first they probably assumed that it would go away, and later they left it up to their trade associations to act, but they were let down.
Now, everyone has been hoodwinked by the propaganda machine. Our children are being taught nonsense at school and the public believe it too. We need to act now, before the situation gets even worse.

Provide solutions that work
There is a path to a brighter future, but it is not an easy one, and that is for three reasons.
Firstly, it is difficult to change people’s minds, and they are already brainwashed against plastics because lies repeated often enough are believed.
Secondly, the anti-plastics campaign is very well funded. Michael Bloomberg for example proudly stated that he gave $85M to create groups including Beyond Plastics who have a mandate not to protect the environment but to make attacks on plastic materials use.
Lastly, making up misinformation is easy, but finding the facts is not. It takes thousand of hours to read thousand of studies in order to get to the truth.
