[[link removed]]URGENT ACTION NEEDED: The health of people, animals, and the planet are at risk
-- all for Big Plastic’s profit!

Look, Friend, you already know that plastics are bad for
the Earth.

● A garbage truck of plastic waste ends up in the ocean every 60 seconds.
● Over 1 million marine animals are killed by plastic each year.
● People are consuming a credit card’s worth of plastic weekly.
● And the plastic that ends up in landfills is seeping into the soil.

Animals like baby sea turtles are CHOKING TO DEATH on the widespread plastic debris in the ocean. Plastic bottles that humans come
into contact with can contain POISONOUS TOXINS -- with children and BIPOC communities at the highest risk of exposure.

Plastic has already made its way into every aspect of life on Earth -- our food,
our water, and our air. If we don’t take serious measures to end the plastic pollution crisis
immediately, it’s going to be too late to STOP THE PLASTIC APOCALYPSE. Will you just sit back as plastic producers profit at the expense of our
precious planet and DESTROY life as we know it? Or will you take urgent action
right now?

SIGN THE PETITION
[[link removed]]Friend, make no mistake: Big Plastic and Big Oil are
deeply connected. Plastic is made from a colossal amount of fossil fuels. These industrial-sized plastic factories release tons of harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and harm nearby residents in disproportionately low-wealth
communities and communities of color.

The shale gas boom has enabled the U.S. to significantly increase drilling and fracking, fueling a massive build-out of plastic infrastructure. Global plastic
production has nearly doubled in the last 20 years alone -- and Big Plastic and
Big Oil have no plans to slow down, as long as the money keeps rolling in.

But while these greedy plastic and oil corporations continue to rake in
astronomical profits, the livelihoods of people, animals, and the planet are
suffering the detrimental impacts of out-of-control plastic pollution. Time is running out, so we’re counting on environmentalists like you to step up
and demand an END to rampant plastic pollution. Please add your name right now
while there’s still time left >>
