Sign Now to save marine life and the planet from the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE

Plastic has already made its way into every aspect of life on Earth — our food, our water, and our air.

Our oceans and communities are being decimated by plastic waste, and the plastic that doesn’t end up in the sea gets poured into landfills, seeping toxins into the soil. Animals are CHOKING and DYING from plastic, while humans unknowingly consume a credit card’s worth of plastic every week.

Big Plastic and its greedy friends in the fossil fuel industry are raking in massive profits while people, animals, and the planet suffer the devastating consequences of rampant plastic pollution.

The Biden Administration MUST immediately address this crisis and STOP plastics from threatening our health, our communities, and our environment — before the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE completely destroys the Earth.

Dear President Biden,

The world faces an indisputable plastic pollution crisis. 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,
