SIGN NOW: Stop plastic from killing baby sea turtles

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Time is running out to STOP plastic from completely destroying our planet! Baby sea turtles hurry their way through mounds of sand to the ocean shore to increase their chance of survival from predators. What they do not know is that the most dangerous predator awaiting them is not birds or crabs… but PLASTIC! These young vulnerable marine animals get their flippers CAUGHT in plastic debris and mistake floating plastic for food like jellyfish. Even if they manage to get the toxic plastic into their tiny stomachs, it can RUPTURE their internal organs or cause severe damage to their digestive systems. Just ONE single piece of plastic has a 20% chance of killing a sea turtle. Aquatic life like sea turtles are in a losing battle against plastics, Friend. Plastic pollution is taking over their home, their food system, and their ability to survive! If we do not stop the irreparable harm from plastic to our marine ecosystems, scientists predict there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050.

Add your name now and DEMAND government intervention to END plastic pollution! >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( PLASTIC CAN TAKE 500 YEARS TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE PLANET. Because it’s non-biodegradable, it just keeps breaking into smaller microplastics that are contaminating our water, food, and air supply. Without even knowing it, the average human consumes a credit card’s worth of plastic every week! But greedy Big Plastic corporations just keep increasing production. Their massive industrial-sized factories spew pollution into nearby communities -- largely communities of color. The people who live in those communities face an increased risk of cancer, respiratory diseases, and other illnesses. We need environmentalists like you, Friend, to address the plastics crisis TODAY! [Help pressure the Biden administration to take bold action immediately! It takes less than 60 seconds to defend our oceans, marine life, and communities against corporate pollution and destruction.
