If we don’t act now, by 2030 (in just seven years!) plastic production will contribute 1.3 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere—the equivalent of 300 coal-fired power plants.
The Rewarding Efforts to Decrease Unrecycled Contaminants in Ecosystems (REDUCE) Act will put a $.20-per-pound fee on new single-use plastics, which will encourage companies to use more recycled content and reduce the amount of new plastics created.
Help keep our ocean plastic-free by calling on Congress to support the REDUCE Act and curb the production of new plastics.
