John,

As you read this message, an estimated 9.1 tons of plastic will enter our oceans worldwide. That’s more than 92,000 tons of plastic every week.

This week, we’re raising $92,000 to fund our efforts to protect wildlife and fight threats like ocean plastics. Will you give $15?

Plastic pollution can be a death sentence for marine wildlife, John. The statistics are staggering:

• Around the world, at least 380 million tons of plastic are produced every year.
• U.S. residents generate an average of 5.7 pounds of plastic waste daily.
• At least 331 species are known to ingest plastic, from Florida manatees to every species of sea turtle.
• Discarded fishing gear kills more than 136,000 marine mammals every year, like humpback whales and endangered Hawaiian monk seals.
• We need to raise $92,000 this week to protect wildlife from threats like plastics pollution. Can we count on your support and your $15?

John, if we don’t have the resources to fund our critical programs, and cannot change our current path, scientists say there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050. Will you help us fight plastics pollution?

I WILL FIGHT PLASTICS POLLUTION

There is still hope—if we immediately stop the flow of trash from land to ocean, scientists estimate that nearly all of the floating plastic on the surface will disappear within three years. But without action, countless marine species could be driven to extinction and entire ocean ecosystems will collapse under the weight of our plastic waste.

We only have seven days to raise $92,000. Please, John, take a stand against ocean plastics and donate $15 right now.
