Make a plastic-free gift this year.

This season especially, it can feel like plastic is everywhere. The United States is the world’s largest plastic polluter: Every year, we produce a staggering 35 million tons of plastic waste. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

PIRG is working to tackle the plastic waste crisis — and we need your help.

For decades, grassroots supporters like you have fueled our work to tackle real problems and find practical solutions — we don’t take a penny from corporations. And thanks in part to the support of people like you, one in three Americans now live in a state with a ban on at least one of the worst kinds of single-use plastics — including here in California, where we have bans on single-use plastic carryout bags and limitations on plastic straws. We need to keep up this work.

Your gift today can be the gift of a plastic-free future. Will you make a year-end donation today?
