Dear Friend,

Like you, I think our oceans, rivers, and waterways are incredible. The life they sustain and the diversity of wildlife teeming in and around them is simply astounding. That’s why it’s devastating to see the impact humans have made on these once pristine areas.

Walk along a beach, and you might glimpse the remains of a sea turtle that died from plastic ingestion. You’ve surely seen plastic bottles floating in local rivers or pieces of plastic that washed ashore as you walked along the oceanfront.

These items do more than just ruin a majestic landscape . . . they destroy lives.

You see, plastic is part of a nefarious plot.

Even as clean energy options become increasingly available, Big Oil isn’t ready to let us kick our fossil fuel habit. Now they’re increasingly “diversifying” their destructive offerings — with plastic — and we’ve got to fight back.

Greedy, corrupt corporations turned to plastic as the next way to make money from squeezing every drop of oil out of our planet. Chemical products derived from petroleum, called petrochemicals, are essential for plastic production.

Plastic is destroying our waterways and damaging ecosystems . . . while Big Oil laughs all the way to the bank.

That’s why Waterkeeper Alliance’s 2020 Clean and Safe Energy Campaign is so critical.

Friend, please make a generous donation right now. Every dollar you donate will be put to work immediately to:

  1. Keep fossil fuels in the ground
  2. Fight plastic pollution
  3. Stop the rampant and deadly dumping of pollutants into our waterways

Thank you for leading the fight for drinkable, fishable, swimmable waters with your gift to our 2020 Clean and Safe Energy Campaign today.

Sincerely,


Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
President
