[World leaders have a rare opportunity to address an urgent global crisis —right now—with the United Nations Plastics Treaty. You can help make sure they seize this opportunity]([link removed])

Dear John,

This Earth Month people around the world are focused on plastic pollution. World leaders have a rare opportunity to address this urgent global crisis —right now—with the United Nations Plastics Treaty. Help make sure they seize this opportunity by telling [U.S. Representatives]([link removed]) and [world leaders]([link removed]) to support a strong, binding treaty.

With the fourth of five sessions of UN Plastics Treaty negotiations taking place in Ottawa, Canada, beginning April 23, it is critical that key decision makers understand the urgent need to end plastic pollution at the source.

It is evident that plastic is poisoning people. Plastic pollutes throughout its existence, or “life cycle”— beginning with fossil fuel extraction and refining — and people living on the front lines of extraction, production, transportation, and disposal sites are especially harmed.

No matter who you are or where you live, your health is affected by plastics. Microplastics and plastic chemicals are in all of our bodies. This is unacceptable, and threats to our health will only grow more dire without urgent action to end fossil fuel and plastic production.

So we are asking for your help: tell the [US Government]([link removed]) and [world leaders]([link removed]) to take a stronger stance on the UN Plastics Treaty. We need a treaty that ends plastic pollution and injustice, and mandates strict and precautionary regulation of plastic chemicals. Join the movement to advocate for real solutions!
