Friend, the amount of plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways is on track to double by 2030.[1]
That's according to a recent report from the United Nations, which said that we need to urgently reduce our use of unnecessary plastic. Otherwise, plastic pollution will continue to litter our environment, harm public health and contribute to climate change.
That's just the latest reason why PIRG is working to move our country beyond plastic -- but we can't do it without you.
There are just a few hours left in our End of Year Drive, and it looks like we haven't heard from you yet -- take a minute to review the information we have on file:

2021 End of Year Giving Status
Goal: $100,000
Deadline: Midnight, December 31, 2021
Current Progress: 61% to goal
-----------------------------------------------------
From toxic chemicals in our food packaging to our growing plastic waste crisis, we have more problems than we should have to tolerate -- and more solutions than are currently being put to use.
That's where PIRG comes in.
To make sure that our campaigns have the resources they need to tackle the problems facing our country, will you donate to our End of Year Drive today? When you do, it will be MATCHED up to $50,000 nationwide -- but only until midnight tonight.

With support from members like you, PIRG is able to advocate for our country's health and safety and stand up to all kinds of special interests. You give us the citizen strength we need to make an impact.
Here's some of the work that your donations help support:
Moving beyond plastic: It's time to move beyond single-use plastic and hold plastics manufacturers responsible for the waste they create. We're calling on lawmakers to pass bans on the worst single-use products we just don't need, and to make plastics producers pay to deal with the waste their products become. Donate today >>

Ending fossil fuel subsidies: We shouldn't be wasting taxpayer dollars on practices that fuel the climate crisis. We're advocating for ending these subsidies to reduce the pollution that's threating our health and climate. Make a MATCHED contribution to our End of Year Drive today >>

Banning toxic chemicals: Americans shouldn't have to worry whether their food has come into contact with toxic chemicals in its packaging. That's why we're calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to ban toxic PFAS chemicals to protect public health. Help make an impact with a MATCHED donation today >>

To make sure that our campaigns have the resources they need to tackle these problems in the new year, will you make a donation to our End of Year Drive to keep our work going strong? When you do, it will be matched up to $50,000 nationwide.

Your donation will power our dedicated staff of organizers, policy experts and attorneys who drive all of our campaigns in the public interest, from banning Roundup and moving us beyond plastic, to saving our antibiotics and being your consumer watchdog, to protecting our environment and our democracy. None of our work would be possible without the support of people just like you.
