Tell Congress to sign the Break free from Plastics Act
One of the biggest environmental myths is that our plastic pollution
problem will be solved by recycling and more conscious consumers. And
while individual action adds up, the truth is that we need big systemic change that addresses the root cause of plastic pollution.
The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act will do just that. It is
comprehensive legislation that holds the big plastic manufacturers and
polluters responsible, rather than consumers or communities. It pauses
construction on any new plastic-making facilities. It begins to phase
out single-use plastic products that aren't recyclable.
