@governor.ca.gov must now support strong implementing regulations by CalRecycle so #SB54 can take effect as it was intended. #PlasticPollution #ActOnPlastic #SourceReduction #CircularEconomy #ProducerResponsiblity

There's one step left to fulfill the promise of #SB54, which “goes further than any other state on cutting plastics production at the source and continues to build a circular economy that is necessary to combat climate change.” And it's in the hands of @governor.ca.gov. #ActOnPlastic

The #PlasticPollution and #climate crises are interconnected because both are driven by our use of #FossilFuels. Many thanks to @margaretspring.bsky.social and her many colleagues for marshalling strong scientific evidence for urgent and ambitious action. #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #ActOnPlastic

We have a big win to celebrate! Thanks to California's bold leadership in enacting #SB54, we can say goodbye to plastic foam takeout food containers. The statewide ban took effect because producers didn't reach a 25 percent recycling rate by Jan. 1. #PlasticPollution #ActOnPlastic #CircularEconomy

The resolution:
🔸 Reaffirms the right to #HealthyEnvironmentForAll at the same level as other recognized human rights;
🔹 Acknowledges that plastics pollution has human rights impacts & that States #ActOnPlastic, #PlasticsTreaty.

California must not miss critical deadline to tackle plastic pollution - Capitol Weekly OPINION - California has long been a leader in environmental protection. Now is the time to reaffirm our promise: to live up to our state's track record of bold environmental action and keep Californi...

California is down to the wire as it moves to put in place rules to reduce waste from plastic packaging and hold producers responsible for the waste they create. Executive Director @juliepackard.bsky.social and Wendy Schmidt of @schmidtocean.bsky.social agree. mbayaq.co/4bsmsLq #SB54 #ActOnPlastic

Your voice can make all the difference on an issue that's critical to our human health, the health of ocean wildlife, and the health of our communities @governor.ca.gov needs to hear from you before the end of the week. It will only take a minute to call. #PlasticPollution #ActOnPlastic

Delaying #SB54 would undermine our commitment to protect the health of our communities and environment. Advancing this law is a clear step California can take to solidify its position as a global leader in tackling the #PlasticPollution crisis. #ActOnPlastic

Today’s national strategy announcement signals a long-overdue shift in how the United States safeguards our ocean, our people, our communities, and our future. At @montereyaq.bsky.social, we’re proud to support implementation of this plan. #ActOnPlastic #OceanPlasticPollution

Huge thanks to President Biden and the EPA for their new National Strategy to Prevent Plastic Pollution. It’s a bold step to address the plastic pollution crisis, from production to the harm it causes for communities, ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. mbayaq.co/3YZHN9l #ActOnPlastic

A pile of plastic bottles and other trash sits in a pile on a beach covered with pale, round, white rocks. There is blue water, blue sky, rocky shoreline outcrops, and a rocky island in the distance.

Plastic pollution threatens the health of the ocean and people everywhere. The team at @montereyaq.bsky.social is working hard to advance a strong #GlobalPlasticTreaty. The latest negotiations put us on the right path: www.montereybayaquarium.org/stories/path... #BridgeToBusan #ActOnPlastic
