Your Signature Is Needed: Plastics are CREEPING & LURKING into our water, food, and air

This Halloween, there’s something even more terrifying than ghosts and goblins on its way… the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE. An entire garbage truck full of plastic waste is carelessly dumped into the sea EVERY MINUTE, killing over a million marine species each year. At this rate of plastic pollution, scientists predict there could be MORE PLASTIC THAN FISH in the ocean by the next 30 years. All living things, including humans, rely on clean water and a healthy ecosystem to supply food, balance greenhouse gases, and regulate our climate. If plastic pollution continues to DESTROY our oceans, it will be a NIGHTMARE for our entire planet. [We still have the power to break this PLASTIC CURSE, but we’re running out of time every minute. Please, Friend, add your name right away to DEMAND action on the plastic crisis! >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION NOW]( Another SPOOKY thing about plastic is that it’s not biodegradable, so it NEVER DISAPPEARS. Every single piece of plastic ever made STILL EXISTS in some form on earth today -- even when we can’t see it, toxic microplastics are HAUNTING our planet and CREEPING into our water, food, and air. The DESTRUCTIVE path of plastic begins at production when Big Plastic’s massive facilities burn through massive amounts of fossil fuels, worsening global warming and harming air quality -- particularly for nearby residents who are disproportionately lower-income and communities of color. But despite the indisputable harm to public health and the earth, the profit-driven plastic industry isn’t slowing down and has actually been INCREASING plastic production by 9% each year! [We MUST hold Big Plastic accountable for their corporate greed before it’s too late. Will you sign your name now to fight back against plastic pollution and help STOP the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE from destroying the planet?]( [SIGN THE PETITION NOW]( Thanks for your support, Friends of the Earth Contact Us: Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA 1-877-843-8687 [Contact us](foe.org/about-us/contact/) Email Preferences: [Click here to unsubscribe]( Learn more: www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org Connect: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Flickr]( © 2021, Friends of the Earth.
