Happy #IWD2021! Every day, I'm inspired by the many women who are leading the fight on #plasticwaste. Today, I'm thrilled to spotlight some of them in a new story for World Wildlife Fund: worldwildlife.org/stories/women-…

Plastic pollution has been leaking into nature at a shocking and increasing rate for decades. Last year, an estimated 11 million tons of plastic (one full garbage truck every minute) entered the world's oceans. It's an alarming statistic, but there's time to change our future.

To end the plastic crisis, we must solve a broken recycling system. A national policy on #EPR can help move us closer to a #CircularEconomy where communities, businesses & nature thrive. Our latest blog explains how: worldwildlife.org/blogs/sustaina…

Today Governor Jared Polis signed HB22-1355 into law. This groundbreaking legislation sets Colorado on the path to implement Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), which will change the way producers and consumers rely on, use, and recycle plastic and other materials.
