The FIFA World Cup will bring millions of people together—but its reusable water bottle ban is still raising questions about health, waste, and access to water. As more stadiums embrace refillable systems, many fans are asking why the sustainable option is still off the table.

Plastic pollution didn’t become a global issue overnight. Many of the changes we see today happened because people organized, protested, and pushed for action. 📣

Swipe through for a few historic moments that shaped the fight against plastic pollution.

👉 ICYMI: Our founder Annie Leonard, alongside Andre Carothers, just released a new book—Protest: Respect It, Defend It, Use It. It’s a powerful reminder of why the right to peaceful protest matters and what’s at stake when that right is threatened. Grab a copy here: https://theprotestbook.com/

A surfboard made from plastic waste. A sailing trip from Nice to Rome. And a meeting with Pope Leo XIV to push for deposit return systems in Vatican City. 🌊♻️
