While we want
nothing more than to welcome the New Year, we’ve
got one last job to do first: asking you to make sure
The Story of Stuff Project heads into 2024 ready
to tackle the challenges that lie
ahead.
As we’ve
shared with you before, nearly half of our
yearly operating budget comes from donations,
from supporters like you. We still need
to raise $10,000 before the month
ends to ensure we reach our year-end goal.
Can
you help us get there by chipping in
today?
You, along
with our generous Community, have helped us
accomplish a lot this year:
- The successful launch
of Bring Back
Refill,
our next campaign targeting a top global
polluter – Coca-Cola. Along with a
roadmap for policymakers and a
petition to Coke to bring back
refillable beverage containers, we also released
an exposé-style short
documentary that details
Coca-Cola’s role in the rise and fall of the
refillable glass bottle.
- A victorious conclusion
to our Unbottle Water
campaign, which challenged
Nestlé and its successor BlueTriton’s rights to
public water. Our efforts led to a Cease &
Desist Order which essentially told BlueTriton
to stop its unlawful removal of water from a
National Forest in Southern California,
returning about 60 million
gallons of water back to the ecosystem
annually.
- Our short documentary
Burning
Injustice premiered in October
at the San Francisco Green Film Festival, where
it won the Audience Award for Best Short. We
were so proud to tell the story of a group of
powerful changemakers – and
grantees of our Grassroots Program – who have
successfully campaigned to shut down a solid
waste incinerator in their
community. It’s exactly the kind
of crossover, deeply involved and
relationship-building support we always
envisioned for our Grassroots Program, which
will award $100,000 in small
grants
this year to support fenceline organizing
efforts of largely BIPOC communities.
- Last but not least, our
program Catalog Choice continues to lead the way
as the only free, industry-independent tool for
direct mail opt-outs in the U.S.,
diverting 2 million pounds of
junk mail so far in 2023!
