The world has a plastic problem. We see plastic pollution everywhere we look — it litters our parks, beaches, rivers, lakes, and oceans, and it’s even inside our bodies in the form of microplastics.

The deluge of fracked gas has unleashed a dangerous buildout of wells, storage facilities, and pipelines, worsening climate change and spreading a toxic web of pollution throughout the United States. It’s what we call the fracking to plastics pipeline.
Plastic lasts hundreds to thousands of years, and its toxic remains pose serious challenges. So what can we do?
