Join All At Once and Strive To Be Plastic Free

All At Once, Jack Johnson’s social action network, encourages you to become active in your local and world community.

This year’s All At Once campaign features over 150 non-profit groups and focuses on supporting Sustainable Local Food Systems and Plastic Free Initiatives. Jack Johnson’s tour proceeds will go to these groups to support their projects.

This week All At Once introduces you to Plastic Free Initiatives. Plastic waste is harmful to the environment because it doesn’t break down. Almost every bit of plastic that has ever been created still exists. The plastic pollution threatens our wildlife, oceans, and our health. Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour — every HOUR! Recycling isn’t always the answer; most of the plastic waste ends up in landfills. Do your part to minimize single use plastic.

Here’s three things you can do to support a vision for a plastic free environment. Let your VOICE be heard!

Join the Take Back the Tap Campaign. Ditch single-use bottled water, support local water infrastructure, and refill at the tap. Join here: Take Back The Tap Campaign

Support local or national policies and efforts to reduce or find alternatives to single use plastics. If you’re in California, send a letter to your Assembly member in support of Heal The Bay’s Plastic Ban Policy to ban single use plastic bags, limit the distribution of paper bags, and require reusable bags for purchases.
