Overview

Mission

Educate the public and inspire people to live plastic-free, use products that are safe for our earth, and to decrease waste with proper disposal for the health of our world.

What it reported doing in 2018

To provide public awareness of the impact plastic pollution and the effect it has on our earth and our ecosystem. Work with manufacturers and suppliers to make products that are earth-friendly.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
