Skip The Plastic Our goal is to help to make Corpus Christi a better place by reducing the use of single-use plastic

Our Goals:

- Raise awareness among the general public, retailers and local officials about the aesthetic and environmental problems caused by litter resulting from single-use plastic bags, bottles and food containers, and encourage them to become better stewards of public spaces.
- Promote recycling at city and county offices, parks, beaches and public events. Our Partners:

- Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies
- Pride Corpus Christi

- City of Corpus Christi Watershore & Beach Advisory Committee
