What problem are you addressing? Plastic pollution
 
Biggest achievement: Microbeads Free Water Act of 2015 signed into law by President Obama banning plastic microbeads in personal care products. 

Biggest barrier: A lot of people still think there's a giant island of floating plastic in the Pacific Ocean that we can simply clean up but this is just not true. There is no Garbage Patch and you can't clean up or recycle our way out of the plastic pollution problem. 

Something you want people to know or learn: Recycling is not the answer to reducing plastic pollution. Better alternatives through product innovation is the key to a more sustainable future. When possible, choose to use materials that are not plastic and educate yourself on the various forms that plastic takes. Even clothing is now made of plastic. 

Something everyone can do: Everyone can choose a nonplastic item to use today and everyone can join our Ambassador program by visiting 5gyres.org/ambassadors
