Sign The Petition: You’re eating plastic.

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Plastics are contaminating the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink! URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Plastics are contaminating the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink! The average person eats a credit card’s worth of plastic every week. That’s because plastic doesn’t decompose. Instead, it breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces, no bigger than sesame seeds. These microplastics end up virtually EVERYWHERE, including in our environment and food chain. [But if we demand federal action to reduce the use and waste of plastics, we could save the planet and ourselves from disastrous impacts. Add your name now to STOP the plastic crisis.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Much of the world's plastic waste ends up in our waterways, and when marine animals like baby sea turtles and fish ingest plastic and die, their bodies decompose… BUT THE PLASTIC DOES NOT. It is released back into the ocean to KILL AGAIN. These TOXIC microplastics NEVER leave our environment and will always find a way to contaminate our fragile ecosystems. They eventually end up as tiny fragments in the air, water, and food we come into contact with and consume. More and more plastic is being produced every day by profit-driven plastic polluters; it will continue to harm our health and our planet unless we take IMMEDIATE measures to curb plastic pollution.
