Push Congress to rein in the PLASTIC CRISIS before it’s too late!

The harm plastics cause begins before these toxic products make it to the ocean -- or even onto store shelves. Giant plastic production facilities spew pollution into nearby communities -- largely communities of color. The people who live in those communities face increased risk of cancer, respiratory diseases, and other illnesses.

Meanwhile, plastic corporations increase production by 9% every year. We need to address the plastic crisis TODAY before it gets out of control.

Dear Legislator,

The world faces an indisputable plastic pollution crisis. More than 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, and fracked gas is fueling an unprecedented boom in plastic production. Plastic is an environmental nightmare at every step of its life cycle.

Plastic production fuels the climate crisis by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and harming local communities with toxic air and water pollution.

Plastic pollutes and kills wildlife. It fills our rivers and oceans, chokes out wildlife, threatens public health, permeates our drinking water, and persists in the environment for centuries.

The solution to plastic pollution is clear: Reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic produced. We can transform our extractive, throwaway economy into a regenerative, inclusive one that’s good for our country and creates U.S. jobs.

I urge you to take immediate action to cosponsor the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act to stem the plastics crisis and defend our oceans and communities.

Plastic pollution kills. We urge you to be a champion for communities, wildlife, and our future generations.

Sincerely,
