Break Free from Plastic Pollution

There are countless actions that “we the people” can take to break free from plastic pollution. These efforts will protect the environment, combat climate change, improve the quality of the air we breathe and water we drink, and make life better for wildlife in our oceans and our lands. This section of our site explores how we can greatly reduce production and use of plastics — starting at the national level with the newly introduced Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act of 2020. It also covers what can be done at state and local levels by government and individuals.
