SEPTEMBER 2019
Dear John,
September has been an exciting month at Plastic Pollution Coalition as we
rally support for our Coalition members and Youth Ambassadors across the
world demanding a livable climate and healthy environment free of plastic
pollution. We hope you were able to join one of the many climate marches
last week or a cleanup and brand audit in your community.
Stay tuned for the results of the global brand audit, where the top
corporate polluters will be revealed, and read on for all the latest
Coalition news, upcoming events, and ways you can take action to stop
plastic pollution.
Yours in solidarity,
Julia Cohen
Managing Director
