Tell President Biden to FIGHT the plastics apocalypse by 11:59pm TONIGHT >>

Plastic can stick around for CENTURIES. That means as more and more plastic makes it into our oceans, it’s accumulating to a deadly level. Microplastics in drinking water, choking baby sea turtles, fish with damaged internal organs – this is all the result of the endless plastics taking over our planet.

It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, there are many alternatives to single-use plastics that could be used instead. But the greedy corporations that profit off making more plastics don’t want a solution to pollution – they just want more money.

President Biden could take federal action to curb the damage from these corporate polluters, but we need your help to make him understand just how urgent of a priority this is for our nation and the planet.

Comments

Dear President Biden,

The world faces an indisputable plastic pollution crisis. More than 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, and fracked gas is fueling an unprecedented boom in plastic production. Plastic is an environmental nightmare at every step of its life cycle.

Plastic production fuels the climate crisis by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and harming local communities with toxic air and water pollution.

Plastic pollutes and kills wildlife. It fills our rivers and oceans, chokes out wildlife, threatens public health, permeates our drinking water, and persists in the environment for centuries.

The solution to plastic pollution is clear: Reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic produced. We can transform our extractive, throwaway economy into a regenerative, inclusive one that’s good for our country and creates U.S. jobs.

President Biden: we urge you to take the eight crucial actions outlined in the Presidential Plastics Action Plan, supported by more than 550 organizations. These actions will immediately set the nation on a pathway to a plastic-pollution-free future while longer-term measures, which require action at all levels of government and society, are developed.

Plastic pollution kills. We urge you to be a champion for communities, wildlife, and our future generations.

President Biden: be a #PlasticFreePresident.

Sincerely,
