Invest in waste collectors & reduce ocean plastic
Organization information
Team Tassy dba Work
Location: Pittsburgh, United States of America
Summary
Since 1950, 8,300Mt of virgin plastics has been produced across the globe, generating 6,300Mt of plastic waste, of which 9% has been recycled, 12% incinerated, and 79% accumulated in landfills. Each day, 8MM pieces of plastic end up in our oceans. The plastic crisis disproportionately affects poor communities, who are also our frontline heroes collecting plastic waste for recycling as informal waste collectors. Our job is to support their efforts by investing in them and their families.
