[Tell the federal government to protect our oceans, communities, and climate from plastic pollution!]( [SIGN NOW]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Wavemaker – Did you know the United States generates more plastic waste than any other country? As the single largest buyer of goods and services in the world, the U.S. government can have a significant impact in reducing plastic pollution through its purchasing decisions. Unfortunately, instead of stepping up as a leader in the fight against plastic pollution, the Biden administration has proposed a plastic purchasing plan that falls short of making any meaningful plastics reduction. The federal government has requested comments on its plan, giving us the opportunity to make a real difference. We urgently need your voice – now is the time to tell the Biden administration to stop buying single-use plastic. Join Oceana in calling on the federal government to use its purchasing power to make a meaningful impact and strengthen the proposed rule by: - Requiring reporting on the current amount of single-use plastic purchases. - Phasing out non-essential single-use plastic. Also requiring single-use plastic free alternatives or reusable packaging in federal agencies' purchases. - Incentivizing the purchasing of sustainable, non-toxic reusable and refillable packaging and products.
