At the same time that we reduce our plastic consumption as individuals and as a congregation, our sisters continue to advocate for system solutions to cut back on plastic production globally. The United Nations is advancing this issue, and we are following their work closely.
As part of the Congregations of the Sisters of St Joseph Non-Governmental Organization at the United Nations (CSJ UN NGO), we have been represented during the negotiating process for the plastic treaty.
Take action with us
We encourage everyone to contact their country’s lead negotiator for the plastics treaty. Urge them to continue pushing for meaningful systemic change.
Those in the United States can use this form to sign on to our letter to Larke Williams, the lead plastic pollution negotiator for the United States.
It is so important for the life of our planet that we move away from plastic.
