Plastic pollution advocacy focuses on raising awareness about the harmful effects of plastic waste on the environment and human health. Advocates work to educate the public about the importance of reducing plastic use, promoting recycling, and supporting policies that limit plastic production and consumption. Organizations and individuals involved in this advocacy often collaborate with governments, businesses, and communities to implement sustainable practices. They may organize clean-up events, promote alternatives to single-use plastics, and encourage legislation aimed at reducing plastic waste, such as bans on plastic bags or straws.
