Beyond Plastics

Beyond Plastics works to eliminate the harms of single-use plastics by providing clear education, policy advocacy, and community action tools. Their fact sheets and reports debunk myths, explain health risks, and help people make informed decisions about compostable or biodegradable materials. Through publications, campaigns, and grassroots training, they support collective efforts to shift systems away from plastic and toward reuse, refill, and zero-waste solutions. 

Everything Starts Small is a youth-led nonprofit empowering young people around the world through STEM, innovation, and climate education. Their projects include repurposing used coffee grounds into compost fertilizers, organizing climate justice initiatives, and delivering hands-on workshops that teach students to design real solutions for environmental issues. The organization has reached over 55,000 people across 23 countries, building sustainable communities and inspiring youth to lead change through action, creativity, and collaboration.

Sungai Watch is a charity operating in Indonesia (and registered in the US) with a mission to stop plastic from flowing into the ocean. They design simple trash barriers, run collection, sorting, and up-cycling systems, and partner with local communities to deploy them across polluted rivers. Their work spans installing barriers, organizing cleanups at illegal landfills, and mapping river pollution to help guide improvements to waste management. With over 150 “river warriors,” Sungai Watch scales quickly, restoring waterways while also expanding internationally.
