CALPIRG at UCR

We have a huge plastic pollution problem in our state. Nothing we use for a few minutes should harm our environment and public health for hundreds of years.

We need to take steps to move beyond plastic. This month, the state legislature is considering legislation that would reduce single-use plastic foodware, helping consumers figure out which single-use plastic products are actually recyclable and more.

RSVP to our Friday event at 3 pm to learn more about common sense solutions to our plastic waste problem, and receive training from our organizing team on simple actions you can take to help convince our legislators to act.

Today was our big Virtual Climate Lobby Day! w 150+ University of California students! The UC Riverside team had 3 meetings today calling for ☀️100%☀️ clean electricity by 2030 !!

WE WON! UCI now joins 3 other UC campuses as a Bee Friendly Certified Campus! Bees pollinate everything from strawberries to coffee. But beekeepers report they're losing 40% of their bee colonies each year. No bees means no food. That's why CALPIRG Students worked to commit UCI to protecting our pollinators.

Thank you to the students, faculty and administration at University of California, Irvine who helped us protect our pollinators! Everyone’s invited to come to our educational “Pollination Celebration” next Tuesday at 5pm — RSVP at http://tinyurl.com/pollinatorparty.

Let's get UC Riverside to be the next UC to join them in protecting our pollinators!
