A challenge to help all organizations go plastic-free
Media appearance on France Info
Dear difteurs,
Witnessing the plastic pollution crisis in the media is crucial to moving the lines.
We had the opportunity to speak on France Info's matinale on November 25, 2024 to address a crucial topic: the imperative need for a treaty against plastic pollution on a global scale and the outcome of negotiations in early December.
During our intervention, we stressed the importance of this historic step to end the plastic crisis and reduce its production.
To go and listen, the link is here!
Despite the lack of agreement in early December, we highlight the positives: over 100 countries are pushing for an ambitious treaty!
Negotiations will continue into 2025 on this basis.
A big thank you to you, dear difteurs, for your invaluable support and donations ✨
Mouvement Deplastify our water
Dear donors,
At the international treaty negotiations against plastic pollution in Busan, South Korea, we carried the voice of the "Desplastify our Water" movement.
Along with 110 organizations worldwide, we are calling for concrete action:
✅ Reduce plastic bottle production and protect the right to water for all.
❌ Eliminate single-use plastics, starting with bottles.
Together, we demand concrete actions for a future free of unnecessary plastic and pollution. Join our fight!
A big thank you to you, dear donors, for your invaluable support and donations ✨
Participation in international treaty negotiations
Dear difers,
Getting more protective regulations against plastic pollution is part of our missions.
No Plastic in My Sea took part in the negotiations of the international treaty against plastic pollution from November 27 to December 1.
We were among the associations accredited as observers of the negotiations. 175 States were gathered to negotiate an indispensable and binding treaty on the entire life cycle of plastics.
We support France, the European Union and the member countries of the High Ambition Coalition and call on them to remain determined to obtain a truly ambitious and effective treaty against plastic pollution.
This is a unique and historic opportunity to end this scourge and reduce plastic production: we must seize it!
Thank you all so much for your support and donations 🌟
Launch of COP Biodiversity in Colombia.
Dear difteurs,
The COP Biodiversity kicked off in Colombia this October 2024, a crucial moment for the protection of our planet and our oceans.
Plastic pollution threatens marine life, biodiversity and the balance of our ecosystems.
Let's not forget that 1.5 million marine animals die every year due to plastic pollution. It's time to act to preserve our oceans and all the species that depend on them. During the COP, we are mobilizing to raise awareness of the impacts of plastic on biodiversity.
Together, let's make our voices heard for a future that is more respectful of nature.
A big thank you for your donations and your invaluable support!
Dift launch party!
Dear difteurs,
We are very proud to be one of the associations supported by Dift.
Thank you Frédéric Mazzella, co-founder of Dift, for the exchange on energy sources and levers of action for an association. At Dift's launch party, our general delegate, Muriel Papin, was able to recall our spectrum of intervention, ranging from activism, to waste collection, to working with companies on solutions.
Thanks to Dift and the whole team Clara Pigé, Georges Basdevant, Clara Oberlé, Flora Rivault and all the others for this beautiful evening and for the opportunity to share our fight against plastic pollution!
And of course, THANK YOU to you, dear difers, for your donations and your precious support!

Ecology and Commitment: a book that puts the oceans in the spotlight
Dear readers,
Please note: you can now find us in bookshops in the book "S'engager pour la nature" in the chapter on ocean protection, which highlights the issues involved in preserving marine ecosystems and taking action against pollution.
This book is part of the new collection by Terre Vivante in partnership with 1% for the Planet. The four volumes making up this new collection highlight ten associations committed to preserving the environment on a daily basis.
A hard-hitting read that will teach you more about environmental issues.
A successful collection!
Dear difteurs,
Braving the rain, the Levi's team accompanied us on a litter pick along the quays of the Seine. Together, we were able to gather nearly 15 well-filled bags. Between cigarette butts, cans and plastic packaging, we fished out a beer keg, some Playmobils, and even a wedding sign!
Beyond the direct impact on the environment, this collection made us realize the extent of pollution and the importance of reducing single-use plastics.
Let's not forget that plastic is the number one piece of waste found on our beaches!
Better than collection, collection with waste identification!
Dear Captains, as you know, our priority is to reduce unnecessary plastics. But nothing beats a litter pick to realize the absolute necessity of REDUCING unnecessary plastics.
With the help of 50 volunteers, we picked up, sorted, examined the garbage found and even quantified the most frequent and most visible marks.
No surprise, lots of bottles and cigarette butts at the rendezvous!
And thanks to the @Rockcorps association for its support. We're stronger together.

April 22: Earth Day targets plastic pollution
Plastic or planet? Let's make the right choices on April 22 ...and after
Earth Day on April 22 puts the urgency of taking action against plastic pollution back on the agenda, with a clear reminder: "plastic versus planet", we have to choose.
The international Planet Earth association is calling for a 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040, and is thus relaying our recommendations (and those of scientists) who are calling for a drastic reduction in plastic production, the only long-term way out of the plastic pollution crisis (cleaning and recycling are necessary but insufficient solutions, as we can all see today!).
This one-day event will take place alongside the 4th session (of 5 planned) of negotiations for the international treaty against plastic pollution in Ottawa (April 21-30).
Let's rise to the challenge, let's mobilize!
You want to take action:
<1/ Take your individual plastic footprint test, a useful prerequisite for any change: https://noplasticinmysea.org/questionnaire-test/
2/ Join the No Plastic Challenge and discover our tools dedicated to companies. It's here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TVtmJ5gpN9vw6tiscXjKhF4nKBdKY99MuyAWTVxwru0/edit
So, plastic or planet?
#GourdesRebellion survey: 218 establishments visited in 10 days
To reduce the pollution caused by plastic bottles, it's essential that the use of water bottles be facilitated. The law requires stations, airports, shopping malls, cinemas... to deploy water points. We've carried out a survey... and .... we're a long way off. Full results to come in January. Happy holidays to all and sundry.
Our "Zero plastic bottles" project wins the Eau de Paris participative budget
Bye bye plastic bottles, so polluting (1st plastic waste in the environment!).
In order to spread the word about "Zero Plastic Bottle Solutions" to professional players and individuals of all ages, we're going to develop a website and an app for hydration on the move.
Join this project, which came first in the Eau de Paris participatory budget! Thanks to your support, we'll be able to make it even more impactful.

In France: recall the ambitious reduction and reuse targets to be met
At a meeting with Minister Christophe Béchu's cabinet, we and the associations FNE, Réseau Vrac et Réemploi, Surfrider Foundation and Zero Waste discussed:
- Our expectations in terms of Reduction and Reuse, as these first two R's in the waste treatment hierarchy are paramount to taking action against plastic pollution.
- The target of a 50% reduction in plastic bottles by 2030, on which it is urgent to act when a +4% increase has been recorded in 2022.
- The necessary support for packaging reuse and the follow-up to be given to the government's announcements on the deposit for reuse.
- The importance of Olympic Games without single-use plastic.

Already 18,000 signatories for the #GourdeChercheFontaine petition
Did you know that plastic bottles are the number one waste product found on beaches? But it's easy to do without! All you have to do is fill up your water bottle.
This is one of the priority ecogestures of the No Plastic Challenge.
And the good news is that, since the beginning of 2022, establishments open to the public have been obliged to provide water fountains for as few as 300 people.

BUT.... 18 months later, the fountains have not been installed (much).
We have launched a petition to ensure that these fountains are finally opened.

The No Plastic Challenge continues from September to November!
After a very intense first wave, the No Plastic Challenge continues to mobilize all players (schools, companies, towns...) on a real "plastic sobriety".
We overproduce and overconsume plastic packaging, very often for single use. REDUCTION is essential if we are to curb the plastic pollution that is invading all ecosystems and having a growing impact on health. Did you know that? You ingest or inhale 5 grams of plastic a week, the equivalent of a bank card.
Supporting our project means acting at the source of plastic pollution!
