These are the consequences of our convenient lifestyles, and separation from nature. Spend some time outdoors and you'll see the plastic problem everywhere. YOU can help by using less plastic at home, and supporting local, sustainable businesses.

Leading the charge for state policies and federal action to get toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” out of our drinking water sources, eliminate their use in food packaging and fire-fighting foam (following California’s landmark win), and to prevent and clean up future PFAS pollution of our water (our progress in Colorado). We are also pursuing similar strategies for toxic flame-retardant chemicals (following a hard-fought victory in Massachusetts). Our Re-Think Disposable program continues to support and strengthen networks of businesses and consumers who reject single-use plastics, while also promoting policies, such as those we helped win in New Jersey, California and other states to phase out wasteful throwaway bags and foam ware.
