These are plastic "nurdles." I keep a jar of them on my desk. Funny name. Very scary for our environment and public health. Today, I'm introducing a bill to stop big corporations from dumping them into our oceans and waterways.

Thanks for sharing my PlasticBagLaws.org info! I wrote that post quite a few years ago and it still holds true. There is a serious lack of transparency when it comes to store drop-off for plastic bag recycling.

“In 2016, the U.S. generated 42 million metric tons of plastic waste, more than any other country in the world. . . This flips on its head the plastics industry’s, and even the EPA’s, talking points that blame Asian countries for plastic pollution.” 💡 surfrider.org/coastal-blog/e…
