URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Baby sea turtles could be CHOKING TO DEATH on plastic
right now. Take action!
[[link removed]]

Plastic waste is overtaking our oceans. Scientists estimate there will be MORE PLASTIC THAN FISH by 2050. That means a higher chance for turtles to mistake floating plastic
bags for tasty jellyfish -- a potentially deadly error. Even if turtles manage
to avoid choking, ingesting plastic can cause malnutrition, chemical contamination, and damaged internal organs .

PLASTIC CAN STICK AROUND FOR CENTURIES . Once an animal dies and decomposes, the plastic it consumed is released back
into the ocean for its next victim. Over time, it breaks down into microplastics
that pollute the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the air we breathe . But there’s good news: Biden could act now to help STOP the plastics crisis and you can help convince
him! Friend, will you defend our oceans from plastic and send
a message to Biden by 11:59pm TONIGHT? >>

[[link removed]]The harm plastics cause begins before these toxic products make it to the ocean
-- or even onto store shelves. Giant plastic production facilities spew
pollution into nearby communities -- largely low-wealth communities and
communities of color. The people who live near these facilities face increased risk of cancer, respiratory diseases, and other illnesses .

Meanwhile, plastic corporations increase production every year. We need to address the plastic crisis TODAY. If just 57 more people from your area take action by TONIGHT,
we can push Biden to rein in the PLASTIC CRISIS before it’s too late. Add your
name!
