Pollution from single-use plastics harms our planet, our wildlife, and our own health. Much of this pollution comes from plastic items we don't need in our lives at all - from plastic grocery bags to polystyrene (aka Styrofoam) takeout food containers. The plastics project aims to push forward both local and statewide legislation to ban single-use plastic bags. Currently, we are focused on forming key partnerships with other organizations, such as ANJEC and the Plastic Pollution Coalition, & taking action for a state plastics bill to pass through the state Assembly.

In Bordentown, the Bordentown Township Environmental Commission is coordinating a recycling program in our town with Trex to recycle plastic film! In the Sustainability Club at the high school, we are planning to plant milkweed on our school grounds in the spring! Very excited for the future!
