Tackling Plastic From All Angles, With You

Your contribution allows us to keep doing what we do best: telling stories and inspiring action. 

From city council meetings to the United Nations, the Story of Stuff Community is tackling the plastic problem from all angles and in many places across the world. With your continued generous support, we can maximize our impact.

This summer, we’ll be ramping up our support for local initiatives to shift from single-use to reuse, in everything from restaurants to concert and sporting venues. We’ll be challenging and supporting select cities as they make the shift and become leaders for others to follow.

At the national and state level, we’re pushing the beverage industry to support deposit return and refill systems, which can all but eliminate one of the biggest sources of plastic pollution: plastic bottles. We’re also rallying around repair legislation that reduces e-waste and makes electronics repairs more accessible and affordable. The Right to Repair movement is gaining momentum and we’re all in.

Globally, we’re pushing for a strong and meaningful international plastics treaty amidst fierce opposition from the petrochemical industry. Our most recent video breaks down what we need and how we’ll get there. And later this month, as negotiators gather in Paris, we’ll be joining allies from around the world in urging world leaders to act.
