Your Signature is Needed: Plastic crisis killing sea turtles and harming coastal communities

 

DONATE URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Plastic pollution is CHOKING sea turtles and OVERWHELMING our oceans and coastal communities! >> Take immediate action! Gingerbread was a tiny baby sea turtle – and despite weighing no more than a carrot, Gingerbread was found dead on the Florida coast with 24 pieces of plastic jammed inside its tiny tummy! Gingerbread isn’t alone in this tragic story. It only takes a single piece of plastic to kill a sea turtle. These creatures don’t stand a chance with an estimated 8-10 million metric tons of plastic entering the oceans each year. And it’s not just sea turtles. The average human consumes enough plastic each week to build a credit card. And people who live near petrochemical facilities face even higher health impacts from plastic pollution. The petrochemical companies raking in massive profits by worsening the plastics crisis are propped up by financing from institutions like Vanguard – which manages MILLIONS of retirement accounts. Vanguard could stop fueling the plastic apocalypse by refusing to provide financing to polluting petrochemical companies. Please, don’t delay – help us reach our goal of sending 13,761 messages to Vanguard TODAY demanding it STOP fueling the plastics crisis that’s harming people and wildlife! >> SIGN THE PETITION Standing with you, Friends of the Earth Contact Us Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA PO Box 7010 Merrifield, VA 22116-7010 1-877-843-8687 Contact us   Learn More www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org © 2025, Friends of the Earth.
