The plastic pollution problem is in plain sight. It affects us all.

Together we can reduce single-use plastics and make a lasting impact.

A trillion plastic bags are used worldwide every year.

Always bring a reusable bag when you shop.

Nearly a million plastic beverage bottles are sold every minute.

Go refillable! Carry your own reusable bottle.

Americans toss millions of plastic straws every day.

Skip the straw. In most cases, you don’t need a straw. Tell your server, “no straw, please” when you order a drink.

9 million tons of plastic waste ends up in the ocean every year.

End littering. Properly dispose of your own trash and pick up litter when you can.
