Organizing for Plastics Alternatives

OPA seeks to reduce single use plastics. We are educators, lawyers, artists, students - citizens who care and are tired of so much plastic.

John Oliver argues for Extended Producer Responsibility and debunks fallacy of recycling plastics, which isn't happening. https://t.co/phnTWPCKLO Contact your DC legislator to support Break Free from Plastic Pollution. It will put burden back on industry (the real polluters).

If you are seeing more plastics in grocery stores, it's intentional. The fossil fuel industry is moving this because demand in other areas is falling. They're also targeting millennials in their advertising. We have to say no to this. It's strangling us: @OPAOrganizing

Why are we burdening our municipalities with cleaning up and recycling our trash?? It's too much of a burden. Let's shift the focus to force corporations to stop producing all the single-use products. Really....it's enough.
