It’s Easy Being Green: How It Started and How Its Going
In July 2026, Beyond Plastics achieved a significant milestone: We engaged our 200th Local Group & Affiliate (LGA). To celebrate this achievement, we invited our very first LGA, It’s Easy Being Green (IEBG), to share their story – how it started and how it’s going.
IEBG’s Sharon Waskow spoke with us about the beginning of the affiliate’s journey and why they continue to join us in the fight against plastic pollution. We are truly honored to collaborate with IEBG, and all of our grassroots partners across the country, who spread the word about the harms of plastic to human health and our planet. Many thanks to Sharon and her fellow IEBG volunteer advocates.
😄 Embracing Radical Optimism at Our Regional Conference in Philly 🫱🏼🫲🏿
In late March 2026, advocates, community leaders, and organizers from across the region gathered for the “Radical Optimism for a World Beyond Plastic” conference hosted by Beyond Plastics in Philadelphia, PA. It was a day to reconnect, share strategies, and renew our collective commitment to ending single-use plastic pollution.
