Sea turtles are dying out rapidly, along with OVER A MILLION other marine animals that die per year. Fishers are struggling and the local economies they fuel in coastal communities are faltering. The key driver behind these consequential impacts? PLASTIC.
Greedy plastics corporations churn out more plastics every year, burning through fossil fuels in the process. It releases harmful pollutants into nearby communities and most of it ends up in the oceans or landfills. That's why scientists are predicting a PLASTIC APOCALYPSE that could totally annihilate the Earth.
Your voice today could STOP plastic pollution from destroying our oceans, killing marine life, harming people, and threatening our planet: Add your name now to urge President Biden to pass federal plastic solutions immediately! >>
When a newborn sea turtle hatches and makes the treacherous journey from the sandy shores to the ocean for the first time, it is still learning about the world and figuring out how to survive. With so much plastic pollution eroding our oceans, it's not surprising that these innocent baby sea turtles are frequently mistaking plastic debris for food — and then choking to death on the plastic waste. In fact, experts believe there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by the year 2050!
Plastics don't naturally decompose, and instead can stay in our environment for decades, breaking down into tiny toxic microplastics that end up in our food, water, and air supply. All of this plastic is just accumulating on our planet RIGHT NOW!
Now, the Earth is completely overwhelmed by plastic, and unless we see bold action from our leaders at the federal level, we stand little chance of reigning in greedy Big Plastic and their fossil fuel allies. Motivated by profit, these companies don't care about the havoc they're wreaking on our environment while putting our oceans, sea turtles, and people at risk.
Please, Friend, time is running out to STOP THE PLASTIC APOCALYPSE from taking over the planet: We still need 4,302 more environmentalist signatures by tonight's DEADLINE at 11:59 pm if we're going to make a strong case to the Biden administration. Can we count on you to take urgent action now to tell President Biden to DEFEND our planet from plastic pollution before it's too late? SIGN NOW >>
Thanks for being an environmental champion and helping to stop the plastic crisis!
Friends of the Earth
