Activists hold up letters spelling out the words Break Free From Plastic near the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. U.S. Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and U.S. Representative Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.), have introduced their landmark legislation, the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act. Thanks to the Act we are not powerless in the fight to hold billion dollar corporations accountable for the single-use plastic crisis. This groundbreaking legislation is a comprehensive solution to tackle plastic pollution and shift the industry from a broken recycling system to reuse and refill solutions for plastics.
