working with sir david came about through the wwf. we are both ambassadors for them.net. and i got invited out to the massai mara to go photograph him and the rest of the crew filming, so i got to see behind the scenes and meet sir david, photograph him out in the mara, which was absolutely incredible. from then i've been all over the world with him. conor, good to meet you. i'mjono, welcome to wild ingleborough. what a day. wild ingleborough is like a landscape—scale restoration project. so this fantastic mountain here, it's got some great wildlife on it but sadly there's big areas that are not hospitable for wildlife, really, so what we're trying to do is connect up these little fragments around the mountainside by doing things like we see here, so putting some trees back in the landscape. we need more habitat back on this mountain, to allow wildlife to flourish again, so all those species that need woodland and scrubland to live. also, it is a great way to capture carbon from the atmosphere. hold that there so i can get a close—up of it. to come and visit a project

wwf, aba and many others support break free concepts. we hope stand alone legislation will ultimately pass. we also hope this chamber will make the most of moving vehicles, including to secure public/private investments in infrastructure and national deposit return system, and a virgin plastic fee such as that articulated in senator whitehouse's reduce acts. thank you for your leadership and moving this conversation forward. we're happy to assist in any way we can as the dialogue continues. >> thank you for your testimony. thanks very much for your efforts and those of who you represent here today. next, we're going to hear from brian hawkinson. please proceed. thank you. >> chairman carper, ranking member capito, distinguished members of the committee, thank you very much for the opportunity to talk with you about this important issue today. i'm pleased to share some thoughts on the pulp paper and packaging industry's commitment to sustainable practices. we share an example of an innovative technology, its increasing use of manufacturin

kate noble is from wwf australia. she says the situation is very serious.t but the good news is we do now have some real solutions are starting to shape up. so this new analysis we have undertaken really provides the most comprehensive overview to date of the impact of plastic pollution on oceans, marine ecosystems and specific species and it looks at the transitive future as well. it looked at around 2500 scientific studies and alarmingly found around 90% of marine species specifically studied the impact of plastic pollution and known to have been negatively affected. those negative impacts can range from susceptibility to disease, right through to serious injury and death so we urgently need to look at solutions right now to look at solutions right now to this growing crisis of plastic pollution. we've only recently had _ plastic pollution. we've only recently had cop26, - plastic pollution. we've only recently had cop26, were i plastic pollution. we've only i recently had cop26, were you, did you take any confidence away from that that governments are ta

let's speak to kate noble, no plastics in nature policy manager for wwf australia.s ago when the united nations came out with a report that said by 2050, if we keep on doing what we're doing, there'll be more fish in the ocean, or rather, more plastic in the ocean, rather than fish. we keep getting these sorts of warnings. what are we not getting right? warnings. what are we not getting ri . ht? ~ ., warnings. what are we not getting riuht? ~ ., ., ., warnings. what are we not getting riiht? . ., ., ., ., right? well, there are a lot of thins right? well, there are a lot of things we're _ right? well, there are a lot of things we're not _ right? well, there are a lot of things we're not getting - right? well, there are a lot of things we're not getting right| right? well, there are a lot of l things we're not getting right at the moment, but the good news is we do now have some real solutions is starting to save up. so, this new analysis really provides a more comprehensive review of the impact of plastic pollutions on oceans, marine ecosystems and specific species.
