An open letter to the President

POTUS, please sign on to the Presidential Plastics Action Plan!

197 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

The world faces an indisputable plastic pollution crisis. More than 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, and fracked gas is fueling an unprecedented boom in plastic production. Plastic is an environmental nightmare at every step of its life cycle. Plastic production fuels the climate crisis, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and harming local communities with toxic air and water pollution. Plastic pollutes and kills wildlife. It fills our rivers and oceans, chokes out wildlife, threatens public health, permeates our drinking water, and persists in the environment for centuries. The solution to plastic pollution is clear: Reduce the amount of unnecessary plastic produced. We can transform our extractive, throwaway economy into a regenerative, inclusive one that's good for our country and creates U.S. jobs. President Biden, I urge you to take the eight crucial actions outlined in the Presidential Plastics Action Plan, supported by more than 600 organizations. These actions will immediately set the nation on a pathway to a plastic-pollution-free future while longer-term measures that require action at all levels of government and society are developed. Plastic pollution kills. Please be a champion for communities, wildlife and our future generations. Thanks.
