Plastic Sunset is a youth-driven campaign inspired by graduate research identifying key leverage points for systemic change in how we regulate plastics.

To launch a broader series of petitions and public education efforts, signaling to governments at multiple levels the growing demand for action, we submitted an Environmental Petition alongside a growing coalition of 18 aligned organizations on World Ocean's Day, June 8th.
