Diane Wilson, a former fisherwoman turned environmental activist, is leading the fight against nurdle pollution in Texas. These tiny plastic pellets, used in plastic production, are polluting waterways and harming wildlife and people. Wilson, who co-won a $50 million settlement against Formosa Plastics, is now suing Dow Chemical for similar discharges. The issue is gaining attention in Texas, with groups urging Governor Greg Abbott to ban nurdle discharges. Legislators are also stepping up, with California having anti-nurdle laws since 2007 and Texas Representative Erin Zwiener pushing for better tracking and audits at plastic plants.
