Dear John,
On October 24, Plastic Pollution Coalition turns 11 years old, and your
support is critical! WE NEED TO DOUBLE OUR EFFORTS, AND THIS MONTH ALL
DONATIONS WILL BE DOUBLED UP TO $11,000 [5].
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE OIL INDUSTRY IS INCREASING PLASTIC PRODUCTION? I was
alarmed to read in Forbes that "OIL COMPANIES PLAN TO INVEST $400 BILLION
INTO NEW PETROCHEMICAL PLANTS, BETTING THAT DEMAND FOR PLASTIC WILL KEEP
GROWING."
As plastic production and waste increase, RESEARCHERS WARN THAT 53 TRILLION
TONS OF NEW PLASTIC WILL BE IN EARTH’S RIVERS AND OCEANS BY 2030.
JOIN US TO STAND UP TO THE PLASTICS INDUSTRY. Together we can do it!
YOUR DONATION WILL BE DOUBLED, UP TO $11,000, WHEN YOU GIVE BY OCTOBER 31.
[5] Support our work to EDUCATE and CONNECT people and groups to ADVOCATE
to stop the increase of plastic production and pollution.
DONATE NOW & DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT [5]
Our movement has come so far. Here are 11 major accomplishments to
celebrate from the past 11 years:
* PLASTIC POLLUTION COALITION has grown into a BROAD ALLIANCE of 1,200+
businesses and organizations, and 13,000+ individual members, from 75
countries on 6 continents.

before you “Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.”
* The REFILL REVOLUTION diverted millions of plastic cups and water
bottles from going to the landfill at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival for 7
years running.
* We have CHANGED THE NARRATIVE, calling ‘MARINE DEBRIS’ what it in
fact is: PLASTIC POLLUTION.
* Our TEDX:GREATPACIFICGARBAGEPATCH in 2010 ignited a movement where
experts, influencers and activists started bringing increased attention to
the global plastic pollution crisis.
* THE LAST PLASTIC STRAW & Founder Jackie Nunez, highlighted the
irrelevance of the plastic straw, built a groundswell of support to “skip
the straw,” and continue to hold companies like STARBUCKS accountable.
* We have grown our SUPPORT NETWORK of amazing SCIENTIFIC ADVISORS,
NOTABLE COALITION MEMBERS, YOUTH AMBASSADORS and EXECUTIVE ADVISORY BOARD
members to lead the way and spread the word.
* The BETTER ALTERNATIVES NOW (BAN) LIST, produced with 5 Gyres,
identifies the most dangerous plastics.
* Our PLASTIC FREE GUIDES & TOOLS include The Plastic-Free Campus Manual
(with Post-Landfill Action Network), The Healthy Baby Guide (with MADE
SAFE), and the Global Legislative Advocacy Toolkit, are all available for
free on our website, and are accessed daily.
* The RETHINK PLASTIC PILOT STUDY, launched with Child Health and
Development Studies, demonstrated changed behavior reduces exposure to
health hazards from the toxic chemicals in plastic.
* We are a FOUNDING MEMBER OF #BREAKFREEFROMPLASTIC global, and play a
leadership role in the movement, supporting proposed U.S. federal
legislation: THE BREAK FREE FROM PLASTIC POLLUTION ACT.
