Plastic-Spitting Dragon Protests at Our Oceans Conference in Malta

A four-by-four meter dragon spitting single-use plastic was installed in front of the 'Our Ocean 2017' conference to highlight the global crisis of plastic solution. The Break Free From Plastic movement is demanding that the main culprits, including fast-moving consumer goods companies such as Nestlé, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo, stop producing single-use plastic and that lobby groups legislate against it.
