Plastics Project
Pollution from single-use plastics harms our planet, our wildlife, and our own health. Much of this pollution comes from plastic items we don't need in our lives at all - from plastic grocery bags to polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) takeout food containers. The plastics project aims to push forward both local and statewide legislation to ban single-use plastic bags. Currently, we are focused on forming key partnerships with other organizations, such as ANJEC and the Plastic Pollution Coalition, & taking action for a state plastics bill to pass through the state Assembly.

I’m trying to continue my relationship with the NJ Student’s Sustainability Coalition as they focus on environmental issues. The discussions revolve around environmental issues within NJ, including the lead water crisis, banning plastic, power plants and fracking.
