Public Interest Research Group in Michigan

Public Interest Research Group in Michigan (PIRGIM) is a non-profit organization that is part of the state PIRG organizations.

PIRGIM has a history of working on a variety of issues, such as cleaning Michigan's waterways,[1] toy safety,[2] and chemical safety.[3]

History

The PIRGs emerged in the early 1970s on U.S. college campuses. The PIRG model was proposed in the book Action for a Change by Ralph Nader and Donald Ross.[4] Among other early accomplishments, the PIRGs were responsible for much of the Container Container Deposit Legislation in the United States, also known as "bottle bills."[5][6]
