We’re campaigning for Microplastic Free Waters
Tiny plastic pellets, called “nurdles,” are being dumped into our waterways. A new bill could make this microplastic pollution illegal.
This Earth Day, put our planet over plastic
The United States is the world's largest plastic polluter: Every year, we produce a staggering 35 million tons of plastic waste. PIRG is working to fix that -- and we need your help.
Georgia PIRG is an advocate for the public interest. We speak out for the public and stand up to special interests on problems that affect the public's health, safety and wellbeing.
