** BREAKING: New study finds camels are eating plastic at alarming rates!
------------------------------------------------------------

** We traveled to Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Dubai to survey plastic in the Gulf of Arabia, where a veterinarian said, “If you want to see plastic, follow me.” We went 100km into the desert, over rolling sand dunes, eventually coming upon an area dotted with sun-bleached camel skeletons and polybezoars.

To date, the Biden-Harris Administration has been silent on the rapidly growing plastic pollution crisis. We urge the Administration to take bold, swift action, and that begins with supporting the movement for a global UN treaty on plastic pollution. Sign to show your support! ([link removed])
