Advocating for Policy Change: Make sure your representatives know about plastic pollution and urge them to act.

Foundations can be key players in shaping the landscape for that policy and building knowledge and momentum. On the other side of the statutory process after a policy passes through regulation and becomes law, some of the harder and longer-term advocacy work begins as new policies are implemented. In my prospect one needs to use their convening power to bring together the best minds around to control plastic pollution  and also to spark discussion with new ideas that may become placeholders for future policy. Grant makers can play a powerful role in helping to educate a community about plastic usage and can even educate policymakers directly in many cases to control usage of plastic in our day to day life.
