Greenpeace protests plastic pollution by boarding tanker in South Korea

Greenpeace activists boarded a tanker off South Korea on Saturday to protest plastic pollution. They aim to highlight the need for a treaty to reduce plastic production as nearly 200 countries meet in Busan for negotiations. The activists peacefully climbed aboard the Buena Alba, which was set to load propylene for plastic manufacturing. They painted "PLASTIC KILLS" on the ship and established a camp to maintain pressure on negotiators. Negotiations at the UN Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee on Plastic Pollution are struggling, with oil-producing countries delaying a deal. There is little indication of agreement as talks near their conclusion.
