Washington, DC \u2013 El Senador de EE. UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, se asoci\u00f3 hoy con el Senador de EE. UU. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) para presentar una resoluci\u00f3n que designa este mes como el Mes de Acci\u00f3n contra la Contaminaci\u00f3n Pl\u00e1stica, citando una preocupaci\u00f3n extrema por la crisis de contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica que amenaza la salud humana, el vertido de decenas de millones de piezas de pl\u00e1stico en el oc\u00e9ano y matando a cientos de miles de animales cada a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n
La resoluci\u00f3n detalla los peligros para la salud humana y el medio ambiente que plantea la contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica, y alienta a todas las personas en los Estados Unidos a proteger, conservar y mantener el medio ambiente tomando medidas para reducir su contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica, este mes y m\u00e1s all\u00e1.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDurante a\u00f1os, a los estadounidenses se les ha ense\u00f1ado las tres R: reducir, reutilizar y reciclar, y que siempre que coloquemos nuestros art\u00edculos de pl\u00e1stico en contenedores azules, podemos proteger nuestro medio ambiente\u201d. dijo Merkley, quien se desempe\u00f1a como presidente del subcomit\u00e9 de Medio Ambiente y Obras P\u00fablicas que supervisa la justicia ambiental y la seguridad qu\u00edmica.<\/b>. \u201cLa verdad es que es m\u00e1s como las tres B: el pl\u00e1stico se entierra, se quema o se lleva al mar, lo que significa que los qu\u00edmicos peligrosos se filtran en nuestro aire, agua y suelo y amenazan la salud de los estadounidenses, especialmente en las comunidades de color y comunidades de bajos ingresos. No podemos quedarnos de brazos cruzados ante esta crisis. El Congreso debe aprobar esta resoluci\u00f3n para enfatizar la urgencia del problema y luego unirse para brindar las soluciones a esta crisis que merecen nuestras familias y nuestro planeta\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cLos pl\u00e1sticos de un solo uso est\u00e1n llenando los oc\u00e9anos a un ritmo alarmante, poniendo en peligro la vida marina y terminando en el suministro de alimentos humanos\u201d, dijo Whitehouse, quien cofund\u00f3 el Caucus de Oc\u00e9anos del Senado bipartidista para encontrar puntos en com\u00fan para responder a los problemas que enfrentan los oc\u00e9anos y las costas.<\/b> \u201cLas leyes Save Our Seas que escrib\u00ed con los senadores Sullivan y Menendez contribuyen en gran medida a abordar la crisis mundial de desechos marinos y contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica. Este mes, volvemos a comprometernos a construir sobre ese progreso y abordar el flagelo global de los desechos pl\u00e1sticos\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
La resoluci\u00f3n de los senadores sigue a la introducci\u00f3n de la bicameral Ley para liberarse de la contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica<\/i>\u2014legislaci\u00f3n liderada en el Senado por Merkley que ofrece el plan m\u00e1s completo jam\u00e1s presentado en el Congreso para abordar la crisis de contaminaci\u00f3n pl\u00e1stica que est\u00e1 envenenando nuestro aire, agua y tierra.<\/p>\n
