Production of plastics is a huge source of greenhouse gas pollution and is expected to overtake emissions from coal-fired power plants in this country by 2030, according to some estimates.

Plastic pollution has been linked to everything from infertility and cancer in humans to severe injury and death in wildlife.

Fortunately, 190 countries, including the U.S., are negotiating a Global Plastics Treaty aimed at reducing plastic pollution – and as one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of plastic, the U.S. has a critical role to play.

Urge the U.S. State Department to adopt a strong Global Plastics Treaty that reduces the production of plastics.
