Hundreds of activists demand plastic action in Kenya

Hundreds of environmental campaigners marched in the Kenyan capital Nairobi on Saturday demanding drastic curbs on plastic production, ahead of a meeting to negotiate a global plastics treaty.
Representatives from more than 170 nations met in Nairobi to negotiate what concrete measures should be included in a binding worldwide treaty to end plastic pollution. The third session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee is scheduled to take place from November 13 in Nairobi and aims to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution.
