As the world shifts from fossil fuel based energy and transportation, plastics are the petrochemical industry's Plan B, with more plastics infrastructure being built every year. Plastic and the climate crisis go hand in hand: by 2030, emissions from US plastics will surpass emissions from US coal.
Join us Thursday March 10th for a briefing of a report by Alexis Goldsmith from Beyond Plastics about the major climate impacts from the production of plastic. BJ McManama from Indigenous Environmental Network will join us to give insight to how communities are directly impacted by the petrochemical industry and the larger implications of what this means for the health and wellbeing of communities . Then we will discuss several actions we can take. Paulita Bennett-Martin from Oceana will give us an update on the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act. We look forward to seeing our A-Z Family again!
