Learn about the campaign’s goals, the environmental concerns related to plastic bottle caps, and how you can support this important cause.
The Issue: Plastic Bottle Caps and Their Impact
Plastic pollution is a global crisis, and plastic bottle caps play a significant role in this problem. Every year, billions of caps end up in landfills and oceans, endangering marine life and ecosystems. While some caps are recyclable, others are made from non-recyclable plastics, worsening the environmental impact.
The Million Voices Campaign by EcoTeens aims to raise awareness about the environmental consequences of plastic bottle caps and advocate for solutions. One key solution is encouraging consumers to keep the cap on their bottles when recycling, making the recycling process more efficient.
EcoTeens is driving change through grassroots organizing, advocacy, and community outreach. Through educational programs, social media campaigns, and partnerships with like-minded organizations, EcoTeens is spreading the message of the Million Voices Campaign and mobilizing young people globally to take action.
