Dear Friend,

The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act ([link removed]) , which was first introduced in 2020 and updated in 2021, will soon be reintroduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. This bill represents the most earnest commitment on behalf of the federal government to ending the plastic pollution crisis. That is why we are urging Congress to protect our waterways and communities from the tidal wave of plastic pollution.

Will you take a moment and urge your Member of Congress to co-sponsor this crucial bill before the plastic pollution crisis gets even worse? ([link removed])

And, make no mistake about it, the plastic pollution crisis will get worse.

Every year, there are nearly 400 million tons of plastic created and that number is poised to triple by 2050. In spite of this glut of production, less than 10% of all that plastic will end up getting recycled. It begins to explain why the amount of plastic in the world’s oceans is expected to double by 2050.

That is why we must act today to confront the mounting plastic pollution crisis!

Your supportive ([link removed]) [link removed] can help encourage members of Congress to pass the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act. ([link removed])

Thank you for raising your voice in favor of clean water and healthy communities.

With thanks,
