Your Signature is Needed: Shell plastics leading to ocean destruction

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Junkyard plastic piles are growing HIGHER and HIGHER, but greedy Shell keeps pumping out more plastic and endangering communities. [Act now!]( It’s not just junkyards. A garbage truck’s worth of plastic waste enters our oceans EVERY MINUTE, causing more than 1 MILLION marine animals to die every year. Sea turtles choking on plastic bags, fish bellies bursting with plastic pellets -- and it gets worse every moment we don’t take action. But an impending PLASTIC APOCALYPSE doesn’t deter Shell from polluting communities to make even more plastic waste. Its new petrochemical plant in Beaver County produces plastics, toxic emissions, and poisonous fumes that contaminate community air, water, and soil. In just a few months of operation, Shell has violated state air pollution regulations several times. Who knows how many more violations might come without immediate action. [Friend, stand up to Shell’s greed and help STOP its reckless pollution in Beaver County by 11:59 pm TONIGHT! >>]( [Sign the petition]( The plastic the Shell plant produces will likely break down into microplastics that pollute the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the air we breathe! In fact, the average person consumes a credit card’s worth of plastic EVERY WEEK! In addition to plastics in their air and water, Beaver County residents have to worry about chemical pollution thanks to Shell. Shell executives are lining their own pockets at the expense of communities and the environment. YOUR ACTION can help us fight back!
