ACTION: Stop the NCGA from Stripping Local Governments of Authority to Fight Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution is a threat to our environment and to the health of North Carolina residents. Email your legislators and let them know that our right to protect ourselves from dangerous pollutants is too important to be traded away to fossil fuel and retail industry lobbyists in backroom deals.
