Plastic Prevention Global reliance on disposable plastic is overwhelming our planet and risks "near permanent contamination" of the earth. We address plastic pollution through campaigns targeting single-use plastics, working collectively with coalitions and as part of larger movements to get to the root cause of plastic pollution, scientific studies that assess the extent of micro- plastics in our waterways, and legislative change at the state and federal levels. We push for individual and corporate/industry change and are fighting back against the petrochemical buildout happening in the United States.
Climate Change Our ocean is one of our planet's most powerful carbon sinks, and restoring ocean ecosystems one of the best ways we have for addressing the climate crisis. We support legislation to tackle climate change and advocate for including ocean protection as a key solution. Some of the measures we are working to pass include the Thirty by Thirty Resolution to Save Nature, the Ocean-Based Climate Solutions Act, the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act (by 2050 plastic production and disposal could account for 14% of our remaining carbon budget), and initiatives like the Ocean Climate Action Plan.
