We can't save our seas — or ourselves — without you fighting alongside us.

| Friend — did you catch Shailene Woodley's urgent message? |
| I'm forwarding it below, but in case you missed it, World Oceans Day is TOMORROW. If we're going to save our seas from the multifaceted threat to their future (and ours!), we need you to stand with us in the fight today. |
| Whether it's miles-wide patches of plastic smothering the ocean surface or sediment plumes dredged from the depths choking sea creatures in their wake, the consequences of corporate greed have put the viability of our world's most ancient wonder at risk of utter destruction. |
| And as our planet's largest home and most critical carbon sink, our seas' survival is critically interconnected with that of the species who depend on them. |
| With our oceans on the line, we can't afford to wait to take action until it's too late. Please, Kathleen, will you join me, Shailene, and Greenpeace USA in the fight for World Oceans Day with a gift of $10 by midnight this Thursday? |

| Thank you, and keep reading to see Shailene's earlier message — ONWARD! |

Subject: Will you join us in the fight this World Oceans Day? |
 | | |  | | Hi Kathleen — Shailene here. | | World Oceans Day is coming up, which means it's time for us to stand together to save our seas. It starts with an ambitious and legally binding Global Plastics Treaty — and fortunately, that's where Greenpeace USA comes in. | | But as a 100% people-powered movement, we won't be able to keep up the fight for our oceans' survival without supporters like you. Please, Kathleen — will you join me in this critical moment to STOP plastic pollution with your gift of $10 in honor of World Oceans Day? | | | | When we talk about plastic, too many people think that just recycling is enough. Sadly, some don't know what "recycling" really means. | | Here's the truth: most plastic will never be recycled, because it makes neither environmental nor economic sense to do so. For the very small portion of plastic that may be "recycled," it often means loading our plastic trash on barges and shipping it across the world — to Malaysia, India, Kenya, and other countries of the Global South — in which case, we're told that "it'll get taken care of." | | Sadly, most plastic ends up in one of two places: either our oceans, or in poor communities left to suffer the aftermath — like contaminated water, exposure to deadly toxins, human rights violations, and environmental devastation. | | It's why the Global Plastics Treaty must ensure a safer environment for us and the next generations — of everyone who calls our planet home. But corporate profiteers have more than enough resources to drown us out, so Greenpeace USA needs committed advocates to join them in the fight to make a difference in our planet's chances of survival. | | Please, Kathleen, give $10 or more now to fuel the fight for our seas — and ourselves — against plastic pollution this World Oceans Day. | | | | Thanks for reading, and happy World Oceans Day! | | Shailene Woodley
