Engagement Actions
Suggested First Steps for Engagement Actions
Engagement Actions involve citizen action, community events, and education
Identify one or more organizations in your community as potential partners
You may personally know a leader or long-standing member of the organization
The organization has stated values that align with pollution reduction (stewardship in a faith group, environmental health in a scout group, or school Eco-club)
The organization has started some projects that fit with plastic waste reduction (waste clean-up events)
Review website(s) of the organization(s) on local and national levels to learn more
Meet with the local leader(s) of the organization(s) to learn if they already have plans and policies before you propose an action for plastic waste reduction
