Empowering a nonpartisan network of state legislative champions
Created by and for state legislators, NCEL serves as a resource to lawmakers working to protect, conserve, and improve the natural and human environment.
Plastic pollution has far-reaching impacts on public health and the environment. NCEL supports legislators working to reduce single-use plastic pollution and move towards a zero-waste society and circular economy.
Environmental justice issues closely intersect with every aspect of the environmental movement and apply to all of NCEL’s issue areas. While all issues we work on are related to environmental justice, these have a particular emphasis on equity and justice.
