Zero Waste Campaign Associate

CALPIRG is hiring a passionate, dedicated, and organized campaign associate to help lead our campaign to move Beyond Plastic in California.

 

Every day Californians throw away millions of single-use plastic containers, wrappers, packaging and other plastic “stuff.” The big problem with all that plastic is that it can take hundreds of years to fully degrade and the vast majority of it can’t be recycled. That means that almost every piece ever made is still out there piling up in our landfills, littering our streets, and polluting our environment.

 

CALPIRG is working to eliminate the single-use plastics we can all live without. We recently won our campaign to eliminate all plastic bags from grocery store checkout stands. We are seeking a Campaign Associate who will help drive our other campaigns to reduce needless plastic waste.
