John,

Did you know that just 56 companies are responsible for more than half of the plastic pollution in the world?[1]

We didn't ask for all the plastic waste piling up as litter and in landfills -- but we can put an end to it.

At PIRG, we're combining corporate advocacy with action at the state and national levels to make wasteful plastic a thing of the past -- but this work takes resources.

If you donate by midnight tonight, your gift will be MATCHED up to $50,000 nationwide. Make your End of Year Drive gift to PIRG now to double your impact.

PIRG has a decades-long track record of organizing everyday people around common sense ways that we can move our society beyond plastic, waste and litter.

And we're getting results. 2024 marked some major movement in our campaigns to confront plastic pollution:

PIRG helped to expose the fact that much of Amazon's plastic packaging isn't actually getting recycled, even when it's labeled "recyclable."[2]

We helped convince the company to commit to a massive reduction in its amount of plastic packaging. The move is expected to eliminate the use of 15 billion plastic air pillows every year.[3]

Supporters like you made this win possible, John. With your support, our next big victory could be just around the corner.

Double your impact with a matched gift to our End of Year Drive before the deadline at midnight tonight.

Faye Park
