Plastic Free Florida is a volunteer-led advocacy movement and resource hub that helps Florida residents and local coalitions reduce single-use plastic pollution. The site provides model ordinances, campaign tools, talking points, and up-to-date information on local policy victories to empower community action and support statewide and federal measures that limit disposable plastics and expanded polystyrene.
Promotes local ordinances limiting single-use plastics and expanded polystyrene, supports repeal of state preemptions on local plastics regulation, endorses producer responsibility and statewide/federal legislation to reduce plastic production and waste, and advances public education and municipal policy adoption (e.g., 'by request' policies, straw/stirrer restrictions, balloon/party-plastic bans).
Primarily volunteer-run and supported through partnerships with environmental NGOs, in-kind assistance and likely small public donations or grants; no public evidence of a standalone charitable incorporation or large corporate funding on the site.
