Tackle the plastic pollution crisis this Giving Tuesday
Holiday shopping turns into frustrating piles of plastic packaging on your doorstep -- but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Help move beyond plastic
Every single year, the United States generates an unbelievable 35 million tons of plastic waste. We're the world's single biggest plastic polluter.
Georgia PIRG is an advocate for the public interest. We speak out for the public and stand up to special interests on problems that affect the public's health, safety and wellbeing.
