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.

Check out youth in action at our events!

Have you heard? The Baltimore Styrofoam ban was signed by the Mayor, and it goes into effect in October 2019. Thank you to all our partners for working with us to get this ban passed.
