Plastic Crisis Challenge

What was once a futuristic, affordable product for the post WWII generation, has become a global pollution catastrophe. The United States comprises just 4% of the world's population, yet we use 24% of the Earth’s resources and have the highest rate of plastic waste (300 pounds annually) per person in the world. Unity’s Act for the Earth Team explored the devastating effects our plastic use has on oceans, ecosystems, wildlife, and the people who live near plastic production plants. This page holds the resources shared during the challenge to eliminate plastic from our lives.
