Environment Colorado: Plastic Pellet-Free Waters Act Signed into Law

Great news -- our sister organization Environment Colorado just won a campaign to protect Colorado's wildlife and waterways from plastic pellet pollution! Plastic pellets are small, lentil-sized pieces of plastic that are used in manufacturing. If they're dumped or spilled into the environment, plastic pellets can look like food to wildlife. When animals ingest them, they can be injured, choke or starve. This plastic can also move up the food chain, harming our whole ecosystem. Colorado's Governor Polis just signed the Plastic Pellet-Free Waters Act into law. The bill prohibits dumping or spilling plastic pellets into the environment, keeping Colorado communities and wildlife safe from plastic pellet pollution. More HERE.
