Within it, 100 million tons of plastic swirl in a vortex of currents. There is so much plastic in the water that it outnumbers zooplankton by six to one! Every one of us needs to do our part to reduce our dependence on plastic. » Plastic in the ocean and along beaches ends up in the stomachs of marine birds and animals. In fact, one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die globally each year due to ingestion of or entanglement in plastics. Plastic is forever, with virtually every piece of petroleum based plastic ever made still in existence. That's why it's so critical to our oceans and beaches that we dramatically reduce our use of plastics, especially single-use plastics, starting today. You can make a difference for our world's oceans, waves and beaches -- pledge to rise above plastics today. » http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/128097118?z00m=15307611 There is a section of the Pacific Ocean twice the size of the continental United States called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Plastic is forever, with virtually every piece of petroleum based plastic ever made still in existence. That’s why it’s so critical to our oceans and beaches that we dramatically reduce our use of plastics, especially single-use plastics, starting today.

You can make a difference for our world’s oceans, waves and beaches — pledge to rise above plastics today. » http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/128097118?z00m=15307611
