Friend,
Just 20 companies are responsible for producing over half of all single-use plastic in the world.[1] We know who we need to convince to move our country beyond plastic, and we know what legislation we need to get us to a zero-waste future.
From state bans to federal laws to corporate campaigns, we're working on every front to end the plastic crisis, but we can't do it alone.
That's where you come in, Friend.
Thanks to supporters like you, PIRG has led the charge to ban some of the worst single-use plastics, and we helped pass the first producer responsibility laws in the country.
To pass even more landmark plastic legislation on the state and national levels in 2022, and to get major retailers including Amazon, Costco and Whole Foods to eliminate single-use plastic packaging, we need your help.
That's why generous donors will match gifts to our End of Year Drive, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 nationwide. Double your impact to help move our country beyond plastic by making a donation before midnight on Dec. 31.

With you by our side, we're ready to step up our efforts to reduce plastic waste in 2022. PIRG is advocating for ambitious legislation and corporate policies and that will move us beyond plastic -- but we can't do it without you.
This year, we helped lead the charge to ban some of the worst single-use plastics in Colorado, Washington and Virginia. We also helped pass the first producer responsibility laws in the country, in Maine and Oregon, and an important truth in recycling law in California. And we've rallied tens of thousands of activists to call on corporations including Amazon, Costco and Whole Foods to get rid of unnecessary single-use plastic packaging.
For decades, PIRG has been a community of citizen advocates like you and me who believe that by working together, we can make our country a healthier, safer place. That's why we know that if we stick together, we can make a real difference and end plastic waste.
We're ready to work to move beyond plastic in 2022. Are you in, Friend? Double your impact by making your year-end gift now.
