The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the plastic pollution problem. We see it locally right here in LA with littered PPE and trash cans overflowing with plastic takeout containers. Bold action is needed not only at the local and state levels, but nationally as well. The United States is the a major consumer of plastic and the third largest contributor to plastic pollution. We need this comprehensive #PlasticFreePresident plan that lays out 8 steps to address the plastic problem. Our federal government has a duty to tackle this issue for the health of our communities and planet. It’s time to make the plastic problem a priority. https://www.plasticfreepresident.org/

Luke, our water quality scientist, breaks it down. https://healthebay.org/changes-to-la-river/
