Your Signature Is Needed: Plastic pollution is a threat to public health

 

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals DIE from plastic pollution EVERY YEAR. Multiple tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean every day, killing several precious oceanic species, and destroying valuable marine resources. Plastics never disappear and instead break down into tiny pieces, which innocent animals like baby sea turtles often mistake for food. Ingesting these microplastics can be fatal. We must take action NOW before more baby sea turtles and other marine life are KILLED by plastic pollution in our oceans. Will you add your name right away? SIGN THE PETITION NOW While plastic pollution continues to overrun our oceans, plastic corporations keep producing more and more plastics in order to boost their bottom line. Not only does this compound the existing plastic pollution that is building up in our environment and killing important marine life, but plastics are manufactured from harmful fossil fuels that exacerbate the climate crisis.  At this rate, it’s predicted that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050. We’re heading toward a devastating plastic apocalypse -- but we can still stop plastic pollution from destroying our planet. please act now before it’s too late to save our oceans and our planet from the plastic apocalypse >> SIGN THE PETITION NOW Thanks for defending our planet from plastic pollution.
