Tell the NJ Legislature: It's time to move beyond plastics

Every day, companies manufacture and sell us plastic products and packaging meant to be used once and then thrown away, often mislabeling them as recyclable. More than 90% end up in a landfill. And who pays to manage and dispose of that plastic waste? Us, the consumers, taxpayers and the environment in our communities.

Tell your legislators that it's time we move beyond plastics by requiring companies to use less plastic packaging and to pay for more recycling options. The responsibility of the waste companies produce should be on them -- not us and our communities. Urge your legislators to pass legislation to move us beyond plastics.
