Government employees are trying to fight back - let's help

 
 

Donald Trump wants to blow up international agreement and open the Pacific Ocean to deep sea mining.

This is a massive global emergency with consequences we can't even imagine: the President of one island in the mining zone calls it "playing gods with the cradle of life".

Fortunately, the US government department in charge of the final regulations has insisted on a public comment period. We need as many people as possible to speak out and give them justification to act against Trump:

 Stop Trump's Ocean Destruction 

John,

Donald Trump just announced he’s going to open the Pacific Ocean to deep sea mining!

That means his friends will get permits to vacuum up the ocean floor, destroy irreplaceable marine life, and make billions – for destabilizing the entire planet’s ecosystem.

This is the kind of chaos Trump brings. But the government department in charge of the final regulations has insisted on a public comment period, which means civil servants who care about the environment will be reviewing all our objections – and could put a stop to Trump’s plan.

We need as many people as possible to speak out and give them justification to act:

Sign and share now to save the ocean from Trump!

Scientists estimate there’s an unbelievable 1.5 million undiscovered species in the ocean. We know next to nothing about the ecosystem that underpins all life on Earth – it’s like an alien planet right at home.

That’s why scientists, experts, environmentalists, and everyone with a heart or a brain has urged extreme caution before greedy industrialists start mining the deepest, most vulnerable parts of the ocean for minerals. Almost every country in the world has agreed to caution – but not the US.

That doesn’t mean we can’t stop this. We’re seeing how courts and ordinary workers can get in the way of the worst of Trump’s plans. And this deep sea mining plan affects the entire world – so hearing from across the world is critical. Most of the ocean floor Trump is targeting isn’t even in US territorial waters!

The world has to survive 4 years of Trump. If he’s poisoned our oceans by the time he leaves, his impact will carry on for generations.

Sign and share to stop Trump from destroying the ocean
