This resolution would designate July 2025 as Plastic Pollution Action Month. It lays out stark numbers: about 460 million tons of plastic are produced each year globally, only 5% of U.S. plastic waste gets recycled, and over 12 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually from land-based sources. Studies estimate humans ingest up to 1.5 million microplastic particles per day, with microplastics now found in human blood, lungs, and placentas. The resolution encourages Americans to reduce their plastic footprint through actions like switching to reusable items.
