Your gift goes 4X as far to fight plastic pollution.
John,
We only have until midnight to meet our $100,000 GivingTuesday goal to fight plastic pollution. Can you make a gift to power our grassroots campaigns to stop fossil fuels and plastics?
Plastic waste can be found in almost every corner of the planet — our rivers, lakes, oceans, beaches, parks, and neighborhoods. And all that plastic doesn’t decompose.
Instead, plastic breaks down into microplastic molecules that end up in everything. It’s in the air, dirt, dust, and even food and our bodies! Did you know that on average you may consume about five grams of this residual plastic weekly — roughly the same amount as in one credit card?
That’s why, with you powering our work, Food & Water Watch is confronting plastic at its source: fracking and fossil fuel production.
Fracking produces ethane, the raw material used to make plastics. And more fracking equals more profit in plastics — which equals, you guessed it… more drilling, fracking, and plastics. It’s what we call the fracking-to-plastics pipeline.
More fracking also means more deadly greenhouse gasses that are causing climate change. It’s why Food & Water Watch is taking on Big Oil & Gas directly. We’re fighting for a livable future free of dangerous and dirty fracking, pipelines, and power plants. You can make a difference.
Last year we stopped several major dirty fossil fuel projects in their tracks and we're doubling down and working harder than ever to end the fracking-to-plastics pipeline by calling for a ban on fracking and a halt to new power plants, pipelines, and oil and gas export facilities. Fracking and plastics are killing the planet, wildlife, and us — it’s time to end this madness.
Food & Water Watch and its affiliated organization, Food & Water Action, are advocacy groups with a common mission to protect our food, water and climate.
