Your Signature Is Needed: Save innocent sea turtles from choking to death on plastic

Small flippers, tiny hard shell, and wide-open eyes -- the mighty baby sea turtle embarks on its journey to reach the ocean! This is an emotional journey, Friend. Baby sea turtles are eager to meet their mama, ready to eat some yummy jellyfish and experience the great blue it will call home. On its way to the ocean, the hungry, curious creature takes one bite into a translucent-looking jellyfish object, and then it is CHOKING! The jellyfish-looking object is not a nutritious meal, but plastic that is now STUCK in the tiny throat of the baby sea turtle! With no other way to try to save itself, the newborn sea turtle will likely CHOKE TO DEATH! The ocean is no place for plastic, Friend. With the dangers to sea creatures and our ocean ecosystems, plastic garbage is a CRISIS! The sad story does not end here. Scientists think there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050 -- making it even harder for animals like baby sea turtles to determine what is food and what is not. There needs to be more done to reduce plastic waste. We need action at the federal level if we are going to protect our oceans, marine life, and the planet from the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE. [Tell the Biden administration to address the plastic crisis NOW before it’s too late >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( We only have ONE planet Earth, Friend, and it is suffering from the wasteful production of single-use plastics. Plastic does not disappear; over time, most of it breaks down into microplastics that pollute the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the air we breathe. A cycle that continues to repeat, and repeat... and repeat! The plastic industry causes harm 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 an increased risk of cancer, respiratory diseases, and other illnesses. Plastic-producing corporations are profiting off of harming people and our planet.
