At the Sixth International Marine Debris Conference in San Diego, California, U.S.-based members of the global movement, #breakfreefromplastic, including Plastic Pollution Coalition, rallied in front of the venue with a 12-foot banner screening the message, "to stop plastic pollution, stop making plastic." The group called for an end to single-use plastic products, which are used for minutes and persist in the environment forever.
