   Peak Plastic Foundation

   Apr 2020 — Present · US

   PPF is the connective tissue at the intersection of advocacy groups working to intervene at different parts of the plastics supply chain. Traditionally, plastics, extraction, climate, and environmental justice advocacy groups have been largely siloed, operating in isolation in what appeared to be disparate struggles. Struggles against the same villain. The Peak Plastic Foundation is an NGO between the NGOs- the polymer chain between the molecules in a global fight. We are instigators and catalysts. Producers. We are insiders. Creators. Experts. Connectors. Researchers. Architects. Grassroots Organizers. We are Innovators, Conveners, Strategists and Executors working to communicate and campaign against the vexing environmental and human injustices caused by a material we call plastic. PPF talks story from the perspective of the frontline and the fenceline. We organize by listening first. From the Global South and The Global North and the space between. We reach believers and infect the nonbelievers. We tip off the reporters. We influence and accelerate a new narrative. PPF builds power to change a broken system by organizing organizers across culture, creed and geopolitical divide; weaponizing the creation of stories to spark campaign strategy and build coalition in real time, on the ground. We operate with deep trust, peripheral vision, and integrity and are known for that. We build projects with metric human rights and conservation outcomes to scale them. We bring global attention to change systems. Help to finance the interventions as a matter of equity.
