Expressing support for the designation of July 2026 as "Plastic Pollution Action Month".

House Resolution 1470 expresses official support from the House of Representatives to designate July 2026 as "Plastic Pollution Action Month." It formally acknowledges the environmental and human health risks associated with plastic pollution and encourages individuals in the United States to voluntarily participate in efforts to reduce plastic waste throughout the year.

The resolution applies generally to the American public by encouraging people to voluntarily reduce plastic pollution. However, it imposes no mandates, rules, or requirements on any individual, business, or government entity.

No legal rules, policies, or regulations would change. Because it is a non-binding resolution, its purpose is to raise awareness and express support for a commemorative month rather than to create enforceable laws.

This resolution involves no federal spending, appropriations, taxes, or fees.

* **Non-binding:** The resolution carries no force of law. * **No agency mandates:** No federal agencies are assigned new programs, regulatory authority, or reporting duties. * **No penalties:** There are no enforcement mechanisms or penalties, as all suggested actions for individuals are strictly voluntary.

This resolution is a symbolic gesture to raise awareness about plastic pollution and encourage voluntary reduction of plastic waste, without creating any new laws, spending, or legal obligations.
