Dead fish.

Choked birds.

Plastic filling up our rivers, our seas - even our bloodstreams.

John, this isn’t a rubbish accident. It’s a choice made for profit by politicians and mega-corporations, happy to flood our waterways with single use plastic, while telling us recycling and “eco” packaging can fix it all.

Like you, we’ve had ENOUGH. So we've launched The People vs. Plastic - to expose the worst offenders and push governments and big business to finally act.

For the next 7 days, we have a HUGE opportunity to help fund this mission. For one week only, every single pound you donate will immediately be DOUBLED as part of the Big Give appeal.

John, will you chip in?

The fact is, we’ve got big enemies with deep pockets trying to stop us.

Without action, plastic production is set to TRIPLE by 2060. And that means Big Oil (yep, they make plastic 🙄) are set to get filthy rich, so they’re busy crushing this fight.

We HAVE to get DRASTIC on plastic John - for our waterways, our wildlife and our health. And we have just ONE WEEK to raise £100k to help fund our mission to cut plastic off at its source. 

John, will you help?

As CEO of Surfers Against Sewage, I know our community is on the frontlines of the fight against plastic pollution. Week after week, you’re out on beaches picking up plastic waste in Million Mile Cleans. You’re working with local councils, businesses and schools to reduce plastic. You’re refilling and reusing. Doing your bit.

So I know how angry you’re feeling too, John.

Furious that the Global Plastics Treaty - what would’ve been an international, legally binding plan to end plastic pollution - collapsed this summer because of the fossil fuel industry’s shady dealings.

Heartbroken when you see wildlife entangled in plastic or killed from consuming it. 

Horrified when you hear that micro-plastics have now been found in our bloodstreams too.

That’s why I’m so fired up for this Big Give Appeal. This is our chance to get the funding we need that could help us stand up to these profiting polluters - including the likes of Coca-Cola, Tesco, McDonald's. To put plastics firmly back in the headlines (whether corporations like it or not).

But we urgently need your help - your donation could fund everything from litter pickers to clean our beaches, to shocking ads to reveal the big brand culprits and the promises our government has broken.

 
If you’ve been thinking of donating to Surfers Against Sewage, this is the week to do it and make your money go twice as far. If you’ve had enough of big polluters destroying our waters, John, now is the time to act:

Thank you so much for being part of the incredible community that won’t stand for this shit.

No more greenwashing. No more lies. No more pointless plastic.

Let’s do this.
