Your Signature is Needed: Baby sea turtles are CHOKING on plastic!

URGENT PLASTIC PETITON: Plastic is destroying our oceans, invading our bodies, and threatening the future of our planet. [Tell the Biden Administration to take bold action immediately>>]( Every piece of plastic threatens the future of our oceans and planet: - Plastic debris CHOKES and KILLS OVER A MILLION marine species every year, like baby sea turtles and dolphins. - Plastic is NON-BIODEGRADABLE which means the plastic that was discarded in our communities and oceans many years ago will NEVER DISAPPEAR. - Plastic breaks down and becomes microplastics which contaminates our food, water, and air supply. - Massive plastic facilities spew toxic pollutants into nearby communities of color, increasing the risk of serious health conditions for nearby residents. The impact is clear, Friend. If the U.S. government does not enact immediate federal solutions, we may lose our one and only planet to plastic. Big Plastic and Big Oil is counting on our inaction to fuel their dirty practices and fill their pockets. But we know environmentalists like YOU will not stand for corporate greed. [Sign the petition NOW to demand the Biden Administration take crucial action against plastic production and pollution>>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Greedy plastic corporations are placing profit over the planet and human health. It’s not just the actual plastic that is harmful but also the process it takes to produce it. Plastic manufacturing facilities burn through huge amounts of fossil fuels and release massive amounts of pollution. This exacerbates the climate crisis and puts nearby communities -- primarily communities of color and low-income communities -- at significantly higher risk of cancer and other serious illnesses. Despite the dangers that come with plastic production, consumption, and pollution, Big Plastic and Big Oil have been steadily bumping production to a staggering 9% increase every year. Yet less than 6% of plastics are recycled annually in the United States. We must act NOW to STOP this PLASTIC APOCALYPSE. [Please, Friend, take action before our 11:59pm deadline TONIGHT to protect our health, our wildlife and the future of our planet.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thank you for your urgent action, 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.
