In November of 2020, Oceana released a report called Many of the animals that suffer due to plastic starve to death as a result of ingesting plastic or becoming entangled in it and thus, unable to move. A few examples of these tragedies include a seal pup who was found with a plastic packing strap around her neck, a dead turtle found with different kinds of plastic in their stomach, and an emaciated, dead, whale with plastic food packaging in their gut. According to Christy Leavitt, a campaign director at Oceana and a leader of this report, “Plastic production is expected to quadruple in the coming decades, and if nothing changes, the amount of plastic flowing into the ocean is projected to triple by 2040.” Sign this petition to demand that Biden and Congress work together to save our oceans, our marine animals, and our Earth by banning single-use plastics throughout the entire United States!
