Fuel our work to move Connecticut beyond plastic

The United States is the world’s largest plastic polluter: Every year, we produce a staggering 35 million tons of plastic waste.

PIRG is working to fix that — and we need your help.

Grassroots supporters like you power our work to tackle concrete problems and find practical solutions. One in three Americans now lives in a state with a ban on at least one of the worst kinds of single-use plastics — including here in Connecticut, where we have bans on single-use plastic carryout bags and limitations on plastic straws.

Our work is fueled by grassroots support — we don’t take a penny from corporations. Donate today to fuel our work in the year ahead.
