Three people smile at an outdoor protest. One holds a sign reading “NY IS NOT DISPOSABLE,” another holds a bright sign with drawings and words, and the third takes the selfie. Buildings and trees are visible in the background.

Changing the System

Plastic pollution won’t be solved by products or individual choices alone. Because plastic pollution is a systemic problem, we believe companies have a responsibility to push for systemic solutions—advocating for legislation, standards, and accountability that reduce plastic at the source.

We are proud to advocate for smarter policies and industry-wide change like the New York State Packaging Reduction Bill and Pods are Plastic Bill, because real progress happens when the rules of the system change - not just the products on shelf.
