Greetings!

We are writing this letter to bring to your attention a concern that is, in our viewpoint, dangerous to our environment especially in the lives of the next generation. We would like to eliminate single-serve plastic beverage bottles and single-use plastic pollution.

The Plastic Industry is trashing our planet! With one million plastic beverage bottles sold every minute, plastic bottles and bottle caps have earned their rank as the third and fourth most littered items worldwide. These plastics are breaking down in our oceans and making their way into our food webs, and into our own bodies. It is estimated that humans ingest about a credit card’s worth of plastic every week! Additionally, the creation of these bottles is a huge contributor to global climate change, with producing plastics using an enormous amount of fossil fuels – around 8% of the world's oil production.

We have the power to stop plastic production at the source and prevent further degradation of our planet by plastic producers. That is why Save Our Shores is calling our community to action. We are launching a signature-gathering campaign to minimize pollution from plastic beverage bottles.

Will you join us in our fight against single-use plastic pollution? Sign and share our petition!
