Global plastic treaty should address chemicals 

    In March, the global community agreed to establish a legally binding treaty to end plastic pollution. To deliver on this goal, the treaty needs to cover all issues of plastics chemicals as an inseparable part of the problem.

    Plastics are complex materials consisting of chemical mixtures, including polymers, additives, residual monomers and processing aids, and non-intentionally added substances. Such mixtures release across the plastics life cycle, from feedstock extraction, production, and use, to reuse, recycling, and disposal; they also recombine along complex, unplanned pathways. As a result, humans and environments are ubiquitously exposed to plastics chemicals, often with serious consequences.

    Out of more than 10,000 known plastics chemicals, at least 2,400 are classified as toxic, such as many phthalates and brominated flame retardants. Documented health effects span generations and include premature births, low birth weight, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, endometriosis, infertility, and cancers. In the United States alone, associated costs of endocrine-disrupting chemicals amount to USD$300 billion/year. The total burden on community, ecosystem health, and biodiversity is far greater.

    Even with material recycling, plastics chemicals ultimately proliferate in the ecosystem, whether as emissions or by entering new products, exposing waste-laborers, consumers, and frontline communities to new chemical cocktails. An effective, fair, and safe circular economy can only be achieved by phasing out toxic chemicals from plastic production. 

    As negotiations for a global treaty begin, plastics chemicals need to be front and center. However, preparatory meeting documents focus on downstream plastic waste and work from a narrow definition of chemicals as hazardous additives. To enable the treaty to fully address plastics’ ecological, health, and environmental justice problems, it is essential to redefine plastics as complex chemical mixtures and to integrate chemical issues across the life cycle within the scope and core obligations of the legal instrument.

Why We Fight: The Roots of War

and the Paths to Peace





    ‘Why We Fight’ describes how despite sensationalist headlines, conflict is rare. The author is a field economist, so, much of the writing is based on examples in the real world. The concepts are all easy to understand and the analysis is framed within the context of non cooperative game theory. For those familiar with the subject there is little new in this book, but the examples given highlight in the real world how calculations get made. Most of the analysis is on subjects like gangs and territorial conflicts but it can be viewed in a larger context.

A Forced Kiss, and a Reckoning With Sexism in Spain1


    In the wake of a nonconsensual kiss pressed on Jennifer Hermoso, a star player of the Spanish women's soccer team, by the president of Spain’s soccer federation, Luis Rubiales, a significant national conversation has been sparked in Spain about feminism, equality, and abuse. The incident highlights the clash between deeply ingrained traditions of machismo and Spain's more recent progressivism on genderrelated matters.

    The unwarranted kiss by Rubiales on Hermoso's lips has become symbolic of the generational and cultural divide between traditional machismo and the more modern push for gender equality. The incident has led to widespread condemnation, even within conservative circles. This event has been referred to by some as Spain’s version of the #MeToo movement.

    Spanish prosecutors have initiated a preliminary investigation into whether Rubiales could be charged with a sexual aggression crime. The Royal Spanish Football Federation, led by Rubiales, has faced calls for his resignation due to the controversy.

    In a politically charged environment, where the far-right's anti-gender identity stance was rejected in recent elections, Spain's feminist movement has gained momentum. Leading politicians, cultural figures, and voices within soccer culture have expressed support for Hermoso and condemned Rubiales, highlighting Spain's shift towards gender equality. 

    The incident has triggered a broader reflection on the country's entrenched soccer culture and sexism, prompting discussions about the need for change. Many see this moment as an opportunity for Spain to address and transform the deeply ingrained sexism within maledominated institutions.
