Spread the Word
There is strength in numbers and knowledge. The more people that are aware of the effects of plastic pollution, the more likely they will voice their concerns and request changes. Through various activities, you can inform your network and community about the impact of plastic bottles and encourage them to take the Pledge Against Plastic.
Share on Social Media
Follow us on Instagram @pledge.against.plastic
Repost our information on your story or create your own post to share on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the hashtags #pledgeagainstplastic, #plasticpollution and #plasticbottle. Combine your social media plans with an email outreach campaign to ask your family and friends to take the pledge against plastic.
Speak to Community Groups
Extend your message by building relationships with key community leaders. Inform them of this pressing environmental issue so they can support your advocacy efforts. Most national service organizations, such as Lions Club, Kiwanis Club, and Rotary Club, have monthly meetings for you to schedule a presentation.
Reach Out to Your School Newspaper & Local Media Outlets
Educate others about the realities of plastic pollution with an article or opinion piece for the school or community newspaper. Reach out to local TV, radio, or print media outlets to share your story on how you reduced plastic waste in your community.
