The federal government needs to keep doing what it's doing. Ideally, it probably should move faster and further.
There is the problem that industry is challenging federal government regulations on plastics right now, and that does slow things down. When there are court challenges, it means we have to stop putting our energy into improving policy to stop plastic pollution and have to hire lawyers and fight industry in court. This is unfortunate.
As to where the federal government is going, the leadership it has been showing at the international level is important, and we can't stop now. Really, we need global coordination. We need to globally see a commitment to reducing the amount of plastic made around the world, because even if we don't make it here, it will be made somewhere else and will come back to our shores either as products or as waste, but eventually as products. This requires a commitment to moving forward both globally and domestically at every level of government.
Am I sometimes frustrated with the pace of progress? Absolutely I am frustrated, but as long as we keep moving forward and keep identifying things we don't need to use anymore, like single-use plastics, we are heading in the right direction
