John,

Littering or failing to recycle have been cited as the cause of all the plastic piling up in our oceans, killing whales and sea turtles, and washing up on our beaches. But that’s not the full or accurate story.

Corporations have intentionally shifted the blame away from producers – when they’re the ones responsible for doubling down on plastic production. It’s cheap, convenient, and good for their bottom line – which they care more about than the damage it’s doing to our planet.

We’re fighting to change this. Make a gift to stop plastic pollution at the source and it will be matched $2-to-$1!

Packaging – on our food or other essential products – accounts for 40% of all plastic produced. As much as you or I may try to avoid plastic in our daily lives, it’s impossible to cut out completely.

It’s a money-making scheme. Oil and gas supply the raw materials to plastic manufacturing, and the more plastic they make the more fracking and drilling Big Oil does — it’s a vicious cycle.

We must break free from plastics, and you can help! Monthly gifts are the driving force behind our campaign to end plastic production. Show our rivers, oceans, and lakes some love and power the fight to break free from plastics! When you make a monthly gift now, it will be matched $2-to-$1 for the rest of 2023!
