Your Signature Is Needed: Baby sea turtles, people, and the planet need you

RIGHT NOW, baby sea turtles are CHOKING AND DYING from the alarming amount of plastic pollution that’s consuming our oceans: [Demand urgent action now! >>]( Friend, by the time you’re done reading this email, about 100 TONS of plastic waste will likely end up in the sea. That’s because EVERY MINUTE, an entire garbage truckload of plastic is discarded into our oceans. Our planet is being absolutely decimated by plastic: ● Baby sea turtles and other marine life are BEING KILLED ● Our food, water, and air supply is BEING CONTAMINATED ● And people are SUFFERING DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES. The federal government has promised to take steps to protect our environment, and yet, we have still NOT seen bold action to STOP the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE from destroying the precious Earth. [Will you speak up now and tell the Biden administration to address the plastic pollution crisis before it’s too late, Friend?]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Scientists predict that at the current rate, our oceans will have more plastic than fish by the year 2050 -- just 27 years from now! But it isn’t even just our oceans being harmed by out-of-control plastics. Life on land is also threatened by this urgent crisis. Big Plastics and its Big Oil accomplices are rapidly burning through harmful fossil fuels and producing massive amounts of climate-warming emissions. These industrial-size plastic factories release toxic pollutants that contaminate our food, water, and air supply -- leaving nearby residents, most often low-wealth and BIPOC communities, with severe health risks. Let’s be honest, Friend. Our leaders have FAILED to stand up against Big Oil and the fossil fuel industry when it comes to reining in commercial plastic production. Now, it’s up to environmentalists like you to help us push for change. [Time is running out to SAVE our oceans and our planet from plastics, so we need 5,607 more signatures by 11:59 P.M.
