🚫🥤This PLASTIC FREE JULY, HELP TACKLE PLASTIC at every stage of its life cycle ! (ONLY ONE).

 

Hi, It feels like you can’t go a day without being reminded of plastic’s toxic prevalence everywhere — and we mean everywhere. Just this year, studies have come out showing vast quantities of nanoplastics entering our bloodstreams through bottled water and microplastics making their way to the most remote regions of the world.  But as we observe Plastic Free July, we’re encouraged to know that our collective actions add up, and together, we have the power to change course for the better. At Only One, we’re tackling plastics at every stage of its life cycle. Here are a few easy actions you can take to help :

The Full Life Cycle Demand global action on the plastics crisis with a strong Global Plastics Treaty. National governments are currently negotiating a legally binding framework that has the potential to confront this environmental justice and climate catastrophe — from production to pollution.   Plastic Production Stop the deadly buildout of DG Fuels and Air Products in Louisiana. Two new toxic industrial facilities are under consideration in “Cancer Alley” — a stretch of fenceline communities overburdened by hundreds of plants, where extreme air pollution puts residents at 95% higher risk of cancer than the rest of the country.  Use and Consumption Pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Act in New York. This proposed legislation would be the most ambitious in the country, significantly reducing packaging waste, ensuring increased recyclability and compostability, and shifting the financial responsibility of recycling and disposal efforts from taxpayers to producers.   Disposal and Pollution  Help clean up plastic pollution and fund advocacy campaigns with an Only One membership. Support our campaigns and on-the-ground impact like our river barrier project with Sungai Watch, an organization empowering local communities in Indonesia to curb ocean-bound plastic pollution at the source.
