SIGN NOW: Demand federal action to stop the PLASTIC CRISIS from destroying our planet!

Plastic is overwhelming our planet, destroying our oceans, and putting people at risk — but the U.S. government has NOT taken bold enough action!

Powerful plastic corporations and their 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.

We need your voice TODAY to send a powerful message: Plastics are destroying the planet, and we NEED concrete solutions at the federal level NOW!

Dear Biden Administration,

The world faces an indisputable plastic pollution crisis. Every year, the United States alone burns or buries 32 million tons of plastic in landfills and 8 million tons of plastic pollution escapes into the world's oceans. By 2025, more than 4.5 billion pounds of plastic packaging will be used every year.

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 is polluting our entire planet, from the beaches to the deepest depths of our oceans. And it is killing marine wildlife, including sea turtles. Plastic production also fuels the climate crisis by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and harming local communities with toxic air and water pollution – threatening public health and persists in the environment for centuries.

The solution to the plastic pollution crisis 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.

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

Sincerely,
