To spare birds, fish and other wildlife from the harm caused by plastic pollution, we’re raising our voices for a world with less single-use plastic products.
Maybe you’ve seen the video of a sea turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nose, or the headlines about whales washing ashore with stomachs full of plastic. With so much plastic pollution floating in the ocean, it’s too easy for wildlife to mistake it for food — and too often, they pay the price with their lives. The good news is that more people, communities, states and companies are moving away from the single-use plastics we don’t even need. Because after all, nothing we use for a few minutes should pollute our environment and threaten wildlife for hundreds of years.
Hundreds of volunteers in 47 states and over 20 countries have signed up to search for plastic pellets at their local waterway as part of the International Plastic Pellet Count on Saturday, May 3rd. And it's not too late to sign up.
Many fish eat microplastics. Here’s why and what we can do about it.
We get a lot of questions about recycling, especially recycling plastics.
Microplastics are accumulating in our oceans and waterways and negatively impacting wildlife.
Burning plastic isn’t recycling, and it won’t solve our waste problem. It just pollutes our skies.
