John,

The plastic pollution crisis is massive. So much wasteful single-use plastic is produced, and so little is recycled. What can any one person do to fix it?

The fact is, none of us can put a stop to plastic pollution alone -- but together, we can make a big difference.

PIRG was built for challenges like these. We have decades of experience combining professional research with advocacy and grassroots organizing to find common-sense, achievable solutions to big problems.

We've set a goal of raising $30,000 by midnight on Earth Day to move our country beyond plastic. Donate today.

How are we confronting the plastic pollution crisis together?

* We're supporting bans on the worst forms of single-use plastic across the nation, and we're winning! one in three Americans now live in a state with a ban on at least one form of single-use plastic.



* We're convincing retailers to cut back on wasteful packaging. You've helped us send tens of thousands of messages to Amazon, Whole Foods, Costco, and more.
* * We're holding plastic producers accountable for the waste their products become by supporting producer responsibility legislation at the national and state levels. PIRG helped lead the charge to win groundbreaking producer responsibility laws for packaging in Colorado, California and Oregon -- but we still have more work to do..



These campaigns take resources, and we need your help to make PIRG's Earth Day Giving Drive a success.

Our goal is to raise $30,000 by midnight on Earth Day, April 22. To keep our work going strong, we need everyone who believes in a zero-waste future to come together.

Your gift today will help keep us on track to meet our Earth Day Giving Drive goal, and in turn help us continue to build a world beyond plastic.
