U.S. PIRG 2025 End of Fiscal Year Drive

John,

Planet-wide, we've consumed as many resources in just the last 6 years as we did in the entire 20th century.1

How can we turn the tide on this much overconsumption and waste? PIRG has a plan -- and you're a key part of it, John.

We have years of experience holding powerful interests accountable and advocating for effective steps to end the plastic waste crisis. We're already seeing important progress.

But to win, we need supporters like you to keep our work going strong.

Support our work with a donation to our 2025 End of Fiscal Year Drive before midnight on June 30, and generous donors will match your gift, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000 nationwide.

How are PIRG's campaigns promoting real solutions to the plastic pollution problem? Here are just a few examples:

We're getting rid of the most wasteful forms of plastic:

PIRG supporters have sent hundreds of thousands of messages to state decision makers, driving a movement that has resulted in restrictions on wasteful single-use plastic in cities and states across the country.2

Thanks in part to our work, one third of Americans now live in a state that is phasing out at least one of the worse kinds of single-use plastic.

And we're getting companies to do their part, too.

Your support helps our team do the research and advocacy work that makes a real difference. For example, you made it possible for PIRG researchers to track discarded Amazon packaging from recycling drop-off boxes to its final destinations. They discovered that almost none of it was actually being recycled.3

We shared our findings with the world and rallied thousands of our supporters to send messages to Amazon -- and the company listened. Now, Amazon has eliminated wasteful plastic air pillows from its U.S. deliveries.4

Now is your chance to make a big impact on our work to confront plastic pollution.

Generous donors are matching every gift before midnight on 6/30 dollar for dollar -- up to $10,000 nationwide. Make a matched gift

Make your MATCHED 2025 End of Fiscal Year Drive gift today.

Thank you for making our work possible,

Faye Park
President
