Introducing… Polluted Polly!

Polly is on a mission to get toxic chemicals out of food packaging.

And she needs our help!

A passionate and persistent activist, Polluted Polly recently joined our team to help us get unnecessary toxic chemicals banned from food packaging materials nationwide. It is Polly’s mission to protect people, communities, and the environment from toxic PFAS chemicals that can leach out of packaging and last forever, polluting our drinking water, food, air, and soil. She’s a very dedicated trash can, but no matter what she does, she can’t contain these chemicals.

Polly is coming soon to a community near you!

Polly will be traveling the country this year to spread the word about toxic PFAS. She will be urging retailers like Burger King and policymakers to ban PFAS in food packaging. So far, she’s been to New York City and Washington, D.C., and this is just the beginning!

Where will she show up next?
