Experts say that this is the world's "last best chance" to fight both climate catastrophe and a crisis of microplastic pollution. Thankfully, world leaders are meeting at the United Nations in Geneva to come to an agreement. But, the Trump Administration is pushing for an emphasis on waste disposal rather than limiting the production of new plastics. In other words, as we approach the brink of an environmental crisis, the administration wants to continue to allow an unlimited amount of plastic to be produced every single year.

This is despite the fact that some plastics can take hundreds of years to decompose. The science is clear: even if we dramatically improve our recycling technology, we have to limit plastic production to curb global emissions and protect our ecosystems from centuries of microplastic pollution.
The United States has a powerful position in global environmental talks like this one, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio must approach these talks in good faith to ensure global plastic production is capped.
Sign now to tell U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: Prioritize limiting global plastic production!
