  Coca-Cola PepsiCo Nestle Danone Altria Philip Morris International   HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE! These 6 companies are responsible for 25% of the plastic pollution on the planet! And yet Republicans in Congress are letting them pollute with little to no accountability. That ends now: We need [218] more Democrats to sign our petition before midnight tonight to DEMAND Congress act and stop these polluters from destroying our oceans and waterways!
