Plastic waste is a serious environmental issue that has no borders. It has far reaching consequences to our earth, economy, eco-system, and health. With such a damaging global issue, can the younger generation do something to address the problem? Pledge Against Plastic believes in the power of today’s youth to take action. Given the right resources and encouragement, teens and young adults can change the world in their own unique way.

When we discard a plastic bottle it never really goes away. It doesn’t biodegrade and stays in the environment for hundreds of years. We believe that focusing on reducing the consumption of plastic bottles is the first step towards raising awareness of the larger issue of plastic waste and pollution in our communities.
