Make Plastic Responsible
Governor, please make ALL disposable plastic, from razors to wrappers, recyclable or biodegradable. We want to keep plastic in the economy, and OUT of the ecosystem!
Why is this important?
Plastic is everywhere! It's plentiful, and it can be useful. But plastic waste that is left in landfills won't biodegrade - it breaks into smaller bits that stay around for a long, long time. Some of this plastic ends up in the oceans (search for The Great Pacific Garbage Patch), and in animals like fish and seagulls. Plastic disposable items - razors, bags, packaging (think about the plastic that wraps around your vitamin bottles, candy wrappers, CD's) that aren't recyclable are never "disposed" of. But we can change that!
Let's make the plastic that we dispose of either recyclable or biodegradable - keeping it out of the landfills and out of the food system. Sign this petition to ask our Governor to make all disposable plastic - from razors to wrappers - recyclable or biodegradable.
