RiponSociety's video: Sullivan Whitehouse Come Together in Effort to Clean the Oceans of Plastic and Other Debris

WASHINGTON, DC – There’s an old saying in Washington that politics stops at the water’s edge when it comes to foreign affairs. That same saying could be used in an equally fitting but much more literal way to describe the work being done by U.S. Senators Dan Sullivan and Sheldon Whitehouse to clean up the tons of plastic and other debris that have been dumped in oceans around the world. Sullivan is a Republican from Alaska. Whitehouse is a Democrat from Rhode Island. Both appeared on April 3rd before a breakfast meeting of The Ripon Society and Franklin Center for Global Policy Exchange to discuss the bill they authored to achieve that goal, and the support that exists for the effort from members of both political parties.
