Break Free From Plastic Campaigns on campuses

"The Break Free from Plastic movement is only getting started here at Stonehill, and we are so thankful for PLAN to have helped us kick it off. We are very excited for the future, with 225 signatures and more to come next year.

Emma Worster

Students for Environmental Action at Stonehill College

"[Our demonstration] was an incredible opportunity to spread the message that 'Plastic Poisons People,' and that as young people in our society, we have an extremely important obligation for fighting for our family and future. It was extremely helpful to have the Post-Landfill Action Network’s support throughout the planning process, and I hope that one day, the University of Central Florida and other universities in Florida will fight for these important environmental issues."

"Having support throughout my planning process with creating goals and having the space to follow up on my goals afterwards allowed me to see the actual improvements that my project made to the campus community."

"I’m so glad we could put the environment first in our activism with the help of PLAN!"
