DOUBLE Your Gift & STOP Plastic Polluters
When you donate from now until May 31, your gift will be doubled up to
$50,000. Big Plastic is exploiting the COVID-19 pandemic to discredit
reusables, roll back plastic bag bans, and to promote even more polluting
plastic. But we remain unswerving in our work to reduce single-use
plastics—specifically for non-medical use that may become a vehicle of
virus transmission and cause worsening global plastic pollution. Thank you
for standing with us, and supporting our work!
