The world has a plastic problem. Littering or failing to recycle has been cited by large corporations as the cause of all the plastic piling up in our oceans, killing whales and sea turtles, and polluting our beaches, lakes, and rivers. But that’s not the full or accurate story.
Did you know that oil and gas companies are the driving force behind plastic production? It’s an industry-hidden fact that fossil fuel production creates the raw materials needed to make plastic.
Oil and gas production threatens our climate, health, and communities — and it’s driving the global plastics crisis. GivingTuesday is a day to do good. Help us fight to stop plastic pollution at its source — by banning fracking and ending fossil fuel drilling.
Plastic production is cheap, convenient, and good for corporate profits — and it's clear these companies care more about that than the damage it’s doing to our planet.
Oil and gas supply the raw materials for plastic manufacturing, and the more plastic that gets made, the more fracking and drilling Big Oil and Gas does — it’s a vicious cycle and a money-making scheme to prop up a dying industry.
We must break free from plastics, and you can help! Your GivingTuesday gift will go toward our work to fight for sustainable food, clean water, and a livable climate, including ending plastic production, banning fracking, and stopping new fossil fuel projects.
Together, we can win the fight to stop plastic production and hold corporations accountable for cleaning up the plastic pollution crisis! Your generosity and care power this fight for our planet and all of us. We all deserve better.
Thanks for making a difference.
Onward together,
