A baby sea turtle drifts through ocean currents in search of a tasty snack.
Suddenly, it spots a jellyfish and swims over to take a bite. But this baby turtle has mistaken a PLASTIC BAG for a jellyfish and now it’s
CHOKING TO DEATH! Take immediate action!

Plastic waste is overtaking our oceans! Even if turtles manage to avoid choking,
ingesting plastic can cause malnutrition, chemical contamination, and damaged internal organs. People are unknowingly consuming plastic too! In fact, the average person consumes a credit card’s worth of plastic EVERY WEEK!

EVERY SINGLE MINUTE we fail to act, more plastic seeps into the oceans, killing
wildlife and harming communities. Biden could act RIGHT NOW to help STOP the plastic apocalypse. That’s why we
need YOUR help. Please, Friend, tell Biden to PROTECT our oceans from
PLASTIC WASTE!

[[link removed]]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.

The harm plastics cause begins long before these toxic products make it to the
ocean. Giant plastic production facilities SPEW POLLUTION ONTO NEARBY COMMUNITIES -- largely low-wealth communities and communities of color. The people who live
here face increased risk of cancer, respiratory diseases, and other illnesses. Meanwhile, plastic corporation executives RAKE IN THE PROFITS! If just 64 more people from your city take action by TONIGHT,
we can help STOP the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE!
