We are curious, inspired and PLAYFUL. We act in ways that give our children HOPE.

We pledge to refrain from giving any child under the age of four a plastic plaything.

Our Play Without Plastic community is a diverse group of caring adults united in their desire to protect the environment, preserve the innocence of children and eliminate plastic pollution so life on Earth can thrive when we are gone.

We are committed to exposing the environmental damage caused by the manufacture, use and disposal of plastic playthings. We come together to establish a norm through which this damage can be prevented.

As an integral part of the global plastic pollution solution, we do our part by taking a pledge to refrain from giving any child under the age of four a plastic plaything. We commit to nurturing a love of Nature in children through play, and when gifting toys to the children in our lives, we choose only those made of environmentally friendly, cruelty-free alternatives.

Take the pledge, join our community. Let’s create the future our children deserve through the power of play.
