John,

Less than 10% of plastic is ever recycled.1 The plastic packaging on the rows and rows of products we find on store shelves is almost all destined to become an incredible amount of waste.

Corporations need to do their part to cut plastic pollution, just like the rest of us. As our fiscal year comes to a close, PIRG is working hard to hold companies accountable -- but we need your support to keep our campaigns going strong in the months ahead, John.

Will you support our 2025 End of Fiscal Year Drive with a gift before the June 30 deadline and help us meet our $25,000 to confront plastic pollution?

When we work together, we can make big progress towards a future beyond plastic -- and this is how we get there:

Supporters like you make it all possible, John. We don't take a cent from corporations.

And together, we're winning. Here's just a sample of the victories your support has made possible:

• We helped convince Amazon to phase wasteful plastic air pillows out of its U.S. based shipments.2 Tens of thousands of PIRG supporters cooperated to send messages to the company and call for change -- and we won. Donate today >

• We're holding all plastic producers accountable for the waste their products become by supporting producer responsibility legislation at the national and state levels. PIRG helped win producer responsibility laws for packaging in Colorado, California, Oregon, Maryland and Minnesota -- and our country could be next..3 Donate today >

• We're winning restrictions on some of the worst forms of plastic waste across the nation. One-third of Americans now live in a state that's phasing out at least one form of single-use plastic.4 Donate today >

Company by company, state by state, PIRG is fueling the change that will make a future beyond plastic into a reality.

Donate before the midnight deadline on June 30 to join our campaigns to confront plastic pollution and make our next victory possible.

Thank you,

Faye Park
President
