Plastic and the pollution it causes is a global problem that impacts human and planetary health, demanding a global solution. It is an issue transcending national borders, affecting every community and every citizen on Earth. Plastic is found on the highest mountains and in the deepest oceans, and even inside our own bodies. It's up to our elected officials to take action to limit the proliferation of plastic that is poisoning the land, water, and air we depend on.

EARTHDAY‍.ORG invites you to join another installment of our Earth Day Live series, The Politics of Plastic, Monday, September 18 at 2:30 PM Eastern. You'll hear from elected leaders working diligently to advance policies and other efforts to protect vulnerable communities from the environmental and public health impacts of plastic.

Join us for the live event.

The event will be approximately 45 minutes and hosted on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and on our webpage. By RSVP'ing, you'll receive a reminder on the day with a link to view the event.

Our panelists include:

• State Representative Sophie Phillips — Delaware General Assembly, 18th District
• Mayor Robert Gallagher — Mayor of Bettendorf, Iowa
• Evan Raskin — Moderator and National Campaign Manager at EARTHDAY.ORG

We hope you can join us for this critical discussion on the Politics of Plastic. Together, we can be a part of the solution to address this global issue and protect our planet for future generations.

Let's unite for a cleaner, healthier Earth. RSVP now, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.

See you there,

Evan Raskin
