Let’s Ban Single-Use Plastics NOW

  Dear Friend, Plastic pollution is the second greatest threat to the environment after climate change. Garbage dumps overflow with plastic waste. It pollutes rivers and washes into the ocean, forming massive islands of plastic junk, killing birds and marine life. Microplastics travel up the fo…
