#PlasticPollutes

Original poem wanted for this artwork: Black Margate.

I created this artwork from raffia, netting, clothing labels, food packaging, and more, adhered to a board with nails and staples.

I'm placing artworks in little free libraries along with poems, inviting anyone who wants to write something. Please DM, PM, carrier pigeon me.

Three ways to help stop plastic pollution:⁠
⁠✅ Shop from businesses that don't use plastic⁠
✅ Support legislation like the #PlasticsTreaty & call for strong measures that cap plastic production
✅ Make reuse a habit and skip single-use items⁠

PPC Webinar | People vs. Plastic: How the UN Plastics Treaty Must Protect Our Health

April is Earth Month, and many people around the world this year are focused on plastic pollution. With the fourth of five sessions of UN Plastics Treaty negotiations taking place in Ottawa, Canada, beginning on April 23, it is critical that key decision makers understand the urgent need to end plastic pollution at the source. It is now evident that plastic is toxic and is poisoning all people. Plastic pollutes throughout its existence, or “life cycle”— which begins with fossil fuel extraction and refining — and people living on the front lines of extraction, production, transportation, and disposal sites are especially harmed.

Refusing single-use plastic in your daily life can be as simple as bringing your own reusable water bottle and bag with you when you leave home. These small actions do add up, and send a message to companies and the world that you don’t want all this plastic. #PlasticPollutes @PlasticPollutes

Water stewardship requires preventing the use of single-use plastic bottles. While communities undergo lead pipe replacement, they need sustainable solutions to access clean drinking water. #PlasticPollutes
