Costco should stop supersizing wasteful packaging
Lots of people are taking steps to reduce waste and cut plastic, but we need corporations to do their part. Costco can make a big impact right now by stopping excessive packaging.
The United States is the world's largest plastic polluter: Every year, we produce a staggering 35 million tons of plastic waste. PIRG is working to fix that -- and we need your help.

Single-use plastic packaging is so common in our everyday lives that a future without it might seem a long way off. But examples of what that future might look like are already here.
