#PLASTICFREEPRESIDENT
[7]
Dear John,
We are excited to share with you that we joined over 550 community and
conservation organizations and sustainable businesses to URGE
PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN TO TAKE EIGHT KEY EXECUTIVE ACTIONS TO SOLVE THE
PLASTIC POLLUTION CRISIs and become a #PLASTICFREEPRESIDENT [7].
These include a moratorium on new plastic production facilities, using
federal purchasing power to curb single-use plastics, tightening up
regulation of the petrochemical industry, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and
protecting environmental justice communities from pollution.
The plan responds to the plastic industry’s aggressive expansion of
facilities using the country’s oversupply of fracked gas to make
throwaway plastic that fills our oceans, landfills, and landscapes.
PETROCHEMICAL-PLASTIC PROJECTS HARM FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES WITH TOXIC AIR
AND WATER POLLUTION AND WORSEN THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND THE IMPACT OF THE
PANDEMIC.

The PRESIDENTIAL PLASTICS ACTION PLAN includes detailed steps Biden can
take as part of EIGHT PRIORITY ACTIONS:
*
Use the purchasing power of the federal government to eliminate single-use
plastic items and replace them with reusable products;
*
Suspend and deny permits for new or expanded plastic production facilities,
associated infrastructure projects, and exports;
*
Make corporate polluters pay and reject false solutions;
*
Advance environmental justice in petrochemical corridors;
*
Update existing federal regulations using the best available science and
technology to curtail pollution from plastic facilities;
*
Stop subsidizing plastic producers;
*
Join international efforts to address the global plastic pollution crisis
through new and strengthened multilateral agreements;
*
Reduce and mitigate the impacts of abandoned, discarded and lost fishing
gear.
