URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Time is running out to save the planet from the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE! The average person eats a credit card's worth of plastic EVERY WEEK, adding up to OVER 40 pounds in a lifetime. That's because plastics aren't biodegradable, meaning they never disappear. Instead, they break down into tiny microplastics that end up in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. As corporate plastics manufacturers push production, these toxic microplastics are slowly accumulating in our environment. We must take action NOW before plastics completely consume our planet >> In the last two years, the use of plastic has increased over 40%. Most of that plastic is used only a few times before being discarded, often ending up as part of the 14 million tons of plastic waste that is dumped into our precious oceans every year. But the makers of plastic are more concerned with profit than with our oceans or our environment. The production of plastic itself is made from harmful fossil fuels that are exacerbating the climate crisis. The human impact of the damage that plastic pollution causes to our oceans and the planet are undeniable, and if we allow this rate of plastic waste, it will have DISASTROUS effects on our public health. Friend, will you add your name right now to demand action that addresses the dangerous plastic pollution crisis among us? Thanks for your urgent action,
Friends of the Earth |
