This is a non-binding Senate resolution designating July 2025 as “Plastic Pollution Action Month.” It frames plastic pollution as a global threat requiring action at individual, national, and international levels and cites a range of statistics on plastic production, waste management, and health risks. The resolution emphasizes that single-use plastics are a major contributor, highlights the amount of plastic entering oceans annually, and notes the presence of microplastics in humans. It references existing efforts like Plastics Free July and the International Coastal Cleanup and urges Americans to participate in activities to reduce plastic pollution during July 2025 and year-round. As a resolution, it expresses the sense of the Senate rather than creating new laws or funding.
