Recycling was supposed to fix the plastic problem—so why is plastic pollution still getting worse? Plastic production is skyrocketing worldwide, driving climate change, environmental injustice, and growing risks to human health. Most plastic is made from fossil fuels, and much is designed to be used just once—then discarded, where it can persist for centuries. Discover the real story behind the plastic crisis—from fossil fuel extraction and manufacturing to the microplastics polluting our environment.
Learn why recycling alone isn’t enough, and explore practical steps you can take in your daily life, as well as ways to support policies that reduce plastic production and waste. We’ll also be giving away a free copy of the new book The Problem with Plastic by Beyond Plastics founder Judith Enck!
