What if a simple tweak to an international treaty could drastically cut the devastating amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean?
Well, we're in luck. That tweak exists and 187 governments are getting ready to vote.
You and me both know the devastation that plastic causes. Recently, a pilot whale died after swallowing more than eighty plastic bags. It’s happening more and more.
But with your help we can apply the right pressure to make sure this key vote passes.
The vote is fast approaching and corporate lobbyists are starting to swarm. But we’re all set to get to work on an urgent investigation into corporate plastic waste. All we need now is you.
Can you chip in to fund an investigator to help win the plastic vote?
