This Plastic Free July, we’re coming together around one truth: Our ocean is not disposable.

Every day, millions of pieces of plastic enter our waters—harming wildlife, polluting coastlines and breaking down into tiny particles that can last for generations.

While any actions that help reduce single-use plastics can have a compounding impact, this month is about more than just refusing the straw or bringing a reusable bag (which are still important!). It’s about rethinking our relationship with a throwaway culture that creates lasting consequences for our ocean—and all of us who depend on it.

The plastic pollution crisis is growing—but so is the movement to stop it.

As we kick off Plastic Free July, we want to hear from you:

What concerns you most about plastic pollution?

In the coming days, we’ll share ways you can defend the ocean and marine wildlife in the fight against plastic pollution.

Be a part of the movement to provide a healthy ocean, forever and for everyone. Because what we throw away always washes back.

P.S. Concerned about microplastics? You can take action today. Add your name to urge elected leaders to require microplastic fiber filters on new washing machines—a simple solution that can help keep millions of plastic fibers out of our waterways.
