Dear Friend,

You probably use plastic in your everyday life, like most people. Maybe you’ve tried to cut back.

But what you may not realize is that 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.

Chemical products derived from petroleum, called petrochemicals, are essential for plastic production. Plastic has become a lucrative source of revenue for Big Oil.

But plastic is destroying our waterways.

That’s why Waterkeeper Alliance’s 2019 Clean and Safe Energy Campaign is so critical.

Last year, plastic plants admitted to discharging 128 million pounds of pollutants into U.S. waterways. Add that on top of the damage fossil fuel is already doing to our environment through extraction and combustion, and you can see why this is such a critical problem. Communities near these plants are exposed to hideous pollution.

Friend, please make a generous donation to our 2019 Clean and Safe Energy Campaign 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 today.
