Ramping up the End of Plastic!
We've had an excellent start towards ending plastic with the strategic ban of six common plastics: straws, plastic bags, takeout containers, cutlery and stir sticks. But we can do better! Let's take a bigger bite out of plastic pollution by going after beverage containers. We all ready have replacements ready to go with cans, tetra packs and cartons already used for some beverages. Let's get imaginative and see even less plastic enter landfills or the oceans.
Why is this important?
Because we need to take a bigger bite out of plastic pollution. There is still far too much plastic pollution entering landfills and the environment that is simply not recycled or reused.
