March 15 is World Consumer Rights Day (WCRD). The consumer movement, Consumers International, first marked that date in 1983. Celebrating the day is an opportunity to reiterate the demand that the rights of all consumers must be respected and protected, and to protest against market abuses and social injustices which undermine those rights.
This year, all consumers will join in tackling plastic pollution. Our ecosystem is suffering from single-use plastics which continue to fill our oceans. As a global consumer movement, the Consumers International plays a critical role in tackling plastic pollution and promoting sustainable consumption by mobilizing its membership towards this end.
