Break Free from Plastics Lights Up in Washington D.C.
A Break Free From Plastic message lights up the night near the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington.
Its already no secret that big brands are driving the plastic pollution crisis. In 2020, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestle were once again named the world's biggest corporate polluters. These companies' business models are built on greenwashing customers into falsely believing recycling will fix plastic pollution. It is also built on keeping the fossil fuel industry in business by continuing to churn out a never ending supply of cheap, single-use plastic.
As the fossil fuel industry doubles down on plastic bottles and packaging, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestle will be the next key villains in driving the climate crisis. 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, like fracked gas and oil, and it contributes to climate change at every step of its lifecycle, from extraction to refinement, manufacture, transportation, disposal, and waste.
