April 22, 2024, is Earth Day. The theme this year, Planet vs. Plastics, “calls to advocate for widespread awareness on the health risk of plastics, rapidly phase out all single use plastics, urgently push for a strong UN Treaty on Plastic Pollution, and demand an end to fast fashion.”

In their unwavering commitment to end plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, the Earth Day Network (EDN) is demanding a 60 percent reduction in the production of ALL plastics by 2040. To achieve this goal, they are:

1. Raising public awareness about plastic’s harm to human and biodiversity health, pushing for research transparency.
2. Proposing to phase out single-use plastics by 2030 and embedding these commitments in the United Nations Global Plastic Treaty on Plastic Pollution in 2024.
3. Advocating for policies aimed at combating the environmental impact of fast fashion which relies on the use of synthetic materials made of plastics, such as polyester and nylon.
4. Calling for investment in innovative technologies aimed at finding sustainable alternatives to plastics because plastics are made from oil and toxic chemicals.

Become part of the solution. Together, we can create a future where our planet thrives without the burden of plastics.
