PLANNING FOR A CLEANER PLACE - Existing corporate policies have sentenced wildlife to death without a trial of any sort. We are violating the rights of all other life on earth simply because they do not have a voice or a vote. Acting to safeguard our waters from plastic is what any responsible corporation would be looking to do.
