If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.

SHOCKING FACT: Our planet is drowning in plastic waste - over 400 million tonnes a year. That’s equivalent to twice the height of the world’s tallest building.
We wouldn’t do this to our backyards - so why do it to Earth?

We all try to do our bit - recycling etc - but plastic is still everywhere.
