Forty pecent of the plastic produced each year is single-use plastic, the United States needs to take action to cut down on the amount of virgin plastic resin it produces and imports each year. This statistic shows we need to take action to cut down on recycled plastics or alternatives when creating single-use products as well as funding plastic waste reduction and recycling projects. The REDUCE Act would put a fee on the sale of new, virgin plastic resin used to make single-use products. Begining a wave of positive change, the passage of the REDUCE act would bring less pollution to God's creation.
