U.S : Tell CONGRESS to SUPPORT the BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC POLLUTION ACT !

 

 

 

Friend, — we must seize this opportunity to fight the plastic pollution crisis.  Oceana recently released the results of a new nationwide poll, revealing that 81% of American voters support national, state, and local policies that reduce single-use plastic. The good news is the U.S. already has the blueprint for change, the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act, but we need your voice to urge Congress to help make it happen! Sign Oceana's petition now.  SIGN ON                               Single-use plastics come with a significant design flaw : They are made of a material designed to last forever, but are often only used for a few moments. And we've seen the devastating results. Landfills are clogged, our streets and waterways are polluted, and marine wildlife is suffering by ingesting or becoming entangled in plastic. With the United States generating more plastic waste than any other country, now is the time for our leaders to take action to stop plastic pollution at the source.     The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act is the first bill in Congress to truly address the plastics crisis. Through a set of policies to effectively tackle the challenge of plastic pollution, it would reduce the production and use of unnecessary single-use plastic, preventing the plastic waste that inevitably ends up in our oceans. You can make your voice heard today by letting your legislators know you support a future where American oceans aren't choking on plastic waste.         Add your name: Tell Congress to support the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act >>            SIGN ON           For the oceans,            Diane Hoskins  Campaign Director  Oceana.                                                                                                             Oceana.
