Led by SEEC Member Rep. Jared Huffman, Democrats in Congress have introduced a sweeping bill to address plastic pollution in the US, the “most comprehensive plan ever” on the issue.
Congressman Huffman says the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act of 2023 “tackles the plastic pollution crisis head on, addressing the harmful climate and environmental justice impacts of this growing fossil fuel sector and moving our economy away from its overreliance on single-use plastic.”
The new bill builds off of previous versions introduced in 2020 and 2021, but includes new provisions protecting communities living near petrochemical facilities, stronger targets for companies to reduce their plastic production, and stricter regulations for toxic chemicals used in plastic products.
This bill would be a huge step forward for reducing our country’s plastic waste and pollution, but it will face an uphill battle getting through our fossil-fool led House if we don’t take action for our SEEC Members ahead of 2024.
We need strong leaders in Washington who will tackle the climate crisis head on, not people like Mike Johnson who will do anything to protect their campaign cash. Please take action today!
