Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing challenges harming our ecosystems, wildlife, and health. An estimated 33 billion pounds of plastic waste enter the ocean every year. As the New York Times reported, “The world produces nearly a half-billion tons of plastic each year, more than twice the amount produced two decades ago.” While the environmental toll is devastating, the human cost is also alarming. Plastics in drinking water, such as PFAS and microplastics, have been linked to cancer, hormonal disruptions, and other serious health issues. Individuals who ingest contaminated water are at risk simply because they lack viable alternatives.
The United Nations recently led discussions on a treaty to address worldwide plastic pollution, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, and activists to try and create a global framework for change. While over 100 countries hoped to have this treaty reduce pollution, it ended in a deadlock with uncertainty over mandatory controls for toxic chemicals used when making plastics. This unfortunate stalemate reveals the progress and partnerships that must be made globally to address environmental pollution.
Taking Global Discussions to Local Solutions
While world leaders pledge to continue their work on large-scale solutions to the world’s plastic crisis, local communities cannot wait. Families are routinely exposed to polluted water and they need affordable solutions now.
