Avoiding plastic for any amount of time seems like a great thing to do. When individuals choose not to buy or use plastic, they remove plastic from their lives. But this is not enough to address the plastic crisis that we are all drowning in. What we really need is to eliminate problematic plastic altogether. To do that, we need to work together to push communities, companies, and cities to go plastic free. Take the #plasticgottago pledge today.
“I pledge to refuse single-use plastic, to reuse or recycle the plastic I currently have, to support but not stop at recycling plastic, and to compel companies and city governments to rethink wasteful technologies.”
