Every day, Americans throw away tons of plastic “stuff.” But it doesn’t actually go away. Instead, it washes into our waterways, where it harms our wildlife and pollutes our oceans, rivers, and lakes.

The Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act is the first comprehensive federal plan to protect public health, wildlife, and wild places from the plastic waste. It’s the kind of groundbreaking legislation we need to manage our plastic pollution crisis and put wildlife over waste.
