Your Signature is Needed: Plastic vs baby sea turtles

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Plastics are destroying our oceans, and it’s killing marine life and harming people! Plastics kill OVER A MILLION species every year due to almost 600 MILLION POUNDS of plastic waste that’s dumped into the ocean. Tiny floating plastic pieces look just like fish to innocent wildlife like baby sea turtles who mistake it for food. In fact, scientists predict that if we continue at this rate of plastic pollution, there could actually be MORE PLASTIC THAN FISH in the ocean in just 30 years. But if we take immediate steps to curb the plastic crisis, there’s still a chance we can protect our oceanic ecosystems. [Will you add your name now and demand action to STOP plastic pollution?]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Helpless marine creatures choke to death, get trapped or entangled, or die from ingesting toxic plastics. And since plastic is NOT biodegradable, it never goes away. Instead, it accumulates in our environment -- killing marine life, contaminating our food and water supply, and even directly harming humans. Plastic corporations burn through colossal amounts of fossil fuels during plastics manufacturing, ruining air quality and worsening the climate crisis. And these massive production plants are primarily located near communities of color where people already face disproportionately dangerous levels of pollution. [Please, Friend, we’re running out of time to save the planet from a complete plastic takeover. Add your name now to protect our oceans, our environment, and our communities from the PLASTIC APOLCAYPSE >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Thanks for fighting back against plastic pollution!
