Reducing plastic production, consumption, and waste to keep human-made waste out of Virginia’s streams, rivers, and coastal waters.
Welcome to the third week of Our Common Agenda Education Series, featuring the Healthy Bay, Rivers, & Creeks chapter of Our Common Agenda.
Governor Northam signed five new conservation laws into effect to reduce plastic waste and pollution in our bays, rivers, and creeks.
Round-up of statements from the conservation community on Executive Order 77, which phases out single use plastics in Virginia state government.
SB1164 will not reduce plastic waste, but instead will reduce state regulatory oversight over harmful, pollution-producing facilities, allowing them free rein to locate near Virginia's most vulnerable populations.
Plastics are now found in our air, water, and soil. Our elected officials need to enact efficient waste reduction policies and reduce waste generation to protect Virginia from the scourge of plastic litter.
