Our national network is working on introducing and passing bills that would help move our country beyond single-use plastics. In 13 states we have introduced legislation that would ban single-use polystyrene take out containers. In seven states, we are working on policies that would make straws available by request only, and in 10 states we have efforts underway to pass statewide bans on single-use plastics bags.
We’re partnering with Environment America. Over the years we’ve worked together to win similar efforts to reduce waste and plastic pollution. From our work on state bottle bills in Massachusetts and across the country, to pro-recycling laws and the first statewide plastic bag ban in California. We know how to combine professional research and advocacy with citizen support, to win real results.
