😄 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.

🐝Garden State Leads the Nation With Strongest “Skip the Stuff” Law🍴
On January 19th, then New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed the strongest Skip the Stuff law in the country. The common-sense law cuts unnecessary plastic at the source by making single-use utensils and condiment packets available only when customers ask for them.
