BALTIMORE. BRIGHT. BEAUTIFUL.

Baltimore Beyond Plastic is a youth-led organization founded in 2016 to support a Maryland expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) phase-out. Our work continues to grow to embrace a variety of environmental topics.
Mission Statement: Baltimore Beyond Plastic coordinates youth advocacy efforts around a diverse range of environmental problems facing Baltimore City, such as:
  1. waste and trash
  2. climate change and energy
  3. economic inequalities and job insecurities
  4. health disparities stemming from environmental issues
We have a special focus around plastic pollutants.
