Become a Citizen Activist

Ultimately, the solutions will involve the international cooperation of citizens, scientists, governments and businesses. But it all begins with each individual being informed, and then being politically and socially active in our individual communities.

With your generous donations we are building lots of cool campaigns and actions. Stay tuned to learn about opportunities to take specific action to solve the plastic pollution plague… or start your own if you cannot wait.

These actions may come in the form of:

* write letters of support for legislation

* initiate legislation in your community to address plastic pollution

* participate in awareness campaigns

* return plastic packaging at the store, when you exit with your purchases

* request a reduction in the use of disposable plastics in companies, schools, events, and other venues and organizations

* make sustainable consumer choices and encouraging others to do so

* contribute funds, skills and time to grassroots efforts to shift our societies to sustainable solutions

* contribute a voice to the growing citizen call for a world that places health and the environment ahead of thoughtless manufacturing, packaging and consuming in the name of “convenience” or profit.
