Support the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act

The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act was introduced on March 26 by Senator Jeff Merkley (OR) and Representative Alan Lowenthal (CA) into both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. If passed, this would represent the federal government’s most consequential and earnest commitment to combating the plastic pollution crisis.

It is crucial that Congress act now to stem the toxic tide of plastic waste before this alarming situation gets even worse. Join us in contacting your Members of Congress in support of this historic legislation.

Who Is Waterkeeper highlights the grassroots advocates of the Waterkeeper movement who fight for their watersheds and communities with unwavering commitment.

Next up? Sandy Bihn, who's been the Lake Erie Waterkeeper since 2004, but her journey began in earnest in the mid-90s when she noticed something about a lake by her home—the water was turning green.
