 | | |  | | International Plastic Bag Free Day is just two days away, Kathleen! It's a bit of a mouthful, we'll admit — but trust us, it's a real holiday with real stakes on the line! | | And with single-use plastic bags infiltrating every inch of the planet (they've even been seen in the Mariana Trench, the world's deepest ocean trench!) and their microscopic particles poisoning the bodies of every creature who calls it home, it couldn't have come at a better time. | | So ahead of this Wednesday, we're offering Greenpeacers (like you!) a way to take this anti-plastics partnership to the next level: when you pledge a monthly gift of $25 or more before 11:59 p.m. on July 3, we'll send you a sustainable, stylish tote bag to show our gratitude to have you in the fight for a plastic-free future. Our planet can't wait, so neither can you, Kathleen — get yours now while supplies last! | | | | On an individual basis, convenient single-use bags seem so innocuous: how else will you get the groceries home, pick up after your pet on a walk, or put away the leftovers after dinner? | | But the idea of these bags' "convenience'' is as much of a product sold to us as the goods they carry. After a few hours of utility, many of the 5 trillion bags used globally each year wind up in our waterways for the next 1,000 years — during which they'll stay a leading killer of endangered sea turtles and smother more of the marine microorganisms responsible for 10% of the planet's oxygen supply. | | The harsh truth is that plastic bags are most convenient for the big oil corporations relying on their production for profit and the Big Box retail giants refusing to turn off the tap. | | Greenpeace USA will never stop calling out the greenwashed propaganda ads, exposing the planet-polluting profit schemes, or fighting at the UN for the strong Global Plastics Treaty our planet needs to survive — but it's the monthly support from Sustaining Greenpeace supporters that allows us to do all that and more for as long as it takes to win. | | So, Kathleen, before this Wednesday, we need your help to keep the fight for a more sustainable, plastic-bag-free future alive: will you please commit a monthly gift of $25, $50, or anything you can right now? Your sustainable tote bag won't wait after midnight on International Plastic Bag Free Day, so neither can you! | | | | With our deepest gratitude for all you do toward a plastic-free future.
