Explanation

The text suggests individual actions like 'vote with our wallet when we buy things' and 'refuse to buy single-use plastics,' and government actions like 'create a materials management stream where the plastic we use truly is recycled' and 'local, national, and international agreements where we agree to reduce the amount of plastic that contaminates the environment.' Biodegradable plastics are not mentioned as a solution.
