#Planet vs. Plastics

60% Reduction of Plastic Production by 2040

EarthDay.Org is raising awareness and rallying behind the theme “Planet vs. Plastics.” This highlights our collective commitment to addressing the plastics crisis. The goal is a bold 60% reduction in plastic production by 2040, aspiring to create a plastic-free environment because recycling alone is not the solution.
