Increasingly convinced by the truth of this. All issues deeply connected by unsustainable consumption trends.

Plastic pollution is the gateway issue for us all to take more radical action on climate change, habitat depletion, resource consumption and the rampant clear cutting of our natural world and ocean. It doesn’t end at plastic.
