Take Action for Plastic Free July

Every year, plastics make up the most common items collected by Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup® (ICC) volunteers worldwide: cigarette butts, bottles, bottle caps, food wrappers, grocery bags and more. In 2023 alone, nine of the top 10 items collected globally were made of plastic—ICC volunteers prevented 10.1 million pieces of plastic pollution from entering our ocean and waterways.

While cleanups are a major piece to solving the plastics puzzle, another piece is to curb this crisis at the source by phasing out single-use plastics. Eliminating these wasteful items can cut roughly 1.4 million tons of plastics annually in the United States alone, equivalent to the weight of four Empire State Buildings.

Celebrate Plastic Free July by adding your name and calling on Congress to phase out harmful, wasteful single-use plastic products
