John,

Plastic pollution is taking over the planet. It’s in our food and water. It’s polluting our lands and oceans, killing wildlife, and threatening our health. And here’s something the petrochemical industry doesn’t want you to know: plastics production is driven by the oil and gas industry! This dirty alliance has trapped us in a continuous contamination cycle that endangers the future of our planet — it’s often called the “fracking-to-plastics pipeline.”

But Food & Water Watch is fighting back. With your support, we are fighting every day to protect our planet, communities, and wildlife and raise our voices against destructive corporate polluters and their political enablers. Donate now to power our campaign to ban fracking and stop this vicious fracking-to-plastics pipeline.

The rapid expansion of fracking across the country has created a gas glut that drove fracked gas prices to the lowest levels in decades. That meant fracked gas companies needed to find additional markets to absorb the excess supply and bring prices back up. The plastics industry has been coming to the rescue of Big Oil & Gas. And the fracking industry couldn’t have dreamt of a better ally: a polluting partner to absorb the huge supply of cheap fracked gas that no one else wanted.

And if that weren’t enough, the plastics industry is actively driving climate change. In fact, over 99% of plastic is made from chemicals sourced from fossil fuels. But with your help, we’re taking on these polluting industries! Will you join our campaign with a tax-deductible donation? Together, we will stop Big Oil & Gas from hurting communities and destroying our climate with its plastic pollution.

Fracked gas is supercharging the plastics industry, contributing to climate-wrecking emissions and causing catastrophic impacts on the planet. As plastics find their way to the oceans, rivers, and lakes, they’re poisoning and killing marine life. Plastic debris causes the deaths of more than a million seabirds every year, as well as more than 100,000 marine mammals. And, as plastics break down they form microplastics that end up in the food we eat, the water we drink, and even the air we breathe.

John, people and wildlife are more important than corporate profits! That’s why we must ban fracking, stop the plastics explosion and stand with communities to fight for a sustainable future. Donate today to fight plastic pollution and help protect our planet and communities. Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar.
