Find Out Where Our Plastic Litter Comes From at the Rahway Clean-Up/Brand-Audit

SOMa Action invites Community members from Maplewood, Millburn and South Orange to attend a Rahway River Clean Up and Plastic Brand Audit on November 12 in South Orange from 12:00 noon – 3:00 pm. Interested volunteers should meet at the New Waterlands Park parking lot, 30 W 3rd St, South Orange.

Attendees will be aided in a clean-up in a defined area along the Rahway River and then will be asked to record whose plastic products are found in a brand audit. The data will be uploaded to a Greenpeace data base. Greenpeace is asking communities around the world to tell them which brands make the plastic pollution found in communities. Greenpeace plans to publicize the data and hold these big companies accountable. SOMa Action Climate plans to repeat this clean-up and brand-audit event in Maplewood and Millburn moving forward.
