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.

The Rowan Environmental Action League and SGA have worked together to get a Resolution passed on Climate Action! The resolution calls for commitments to renewable energy, reducing waste, a required course on climate change, divestment from fossil fuels, and much more. We've been meeting with stakeholders across campus to build momentum and ingrain these values into the campus culture.
