(By 350 CO ally Jamie Blatter) Fossil fuels and plastics are in an unhealthy love triangle with the American public and it is harming us, our wildlife and the planet. Ask individuals about the negative effects that plastic has on the environment, and you are likely hear about the floating island of plastic in our oceans, how plastics virtually never bio-degrade, and about litter’s negative effects on wildlife and landscapes.

ACTION OF THE MONTH: Stop fossil fuel pollution. Sign the petition to protect our air quality during a respiratory pandemic. Take Action! The Great Depression Brought The New Deal — Could This Moment Bring Us The Green New Deal? If ever there was a moment for us to fight for universal health care, child care, paid sick leave, it’s now.
