Our planet is under stress. We're overtaxing the planet, and resources are going to waste. Take the complex issue of plastic production and pollution. Only 9% of plastic waste in the US is recycled each year. And at this very moment, more than $2 billion worth of plastic material is sitting in our landfills.
We see the plastic waste all around us, every day. And with 77% of the public agreeing that too many products are made of plastic, and that waste is becoming unavoidable... What are the solutions? Who are the key players we need to step up?
Join WWF's Sara Thomas, Erin Simon, and Anthony Tusino for a public conversation where they'll address the plastic pollution crisis, some of these questions asked, and the policies and packaging solutions needed for real world impact. This event will be streamed live on World Wildlife Fund's YouTube and Facebook channels.
