![[GRAPHIC 1 - illustration of Greenpeace ship floating on surface next to text: OUR SEAS ARE SUFFOCATING ON PLASTIC — LET'S TURN OFF THE TAP.] [[DONATE NOW >>]] [[Firstname|Greenpeacer]] — you won't believe just how far down in the ocean we can find plastic pollution. Keep scrolling to see how deep the problem really goes: [GRAPHIC 2 – Leatherback sea turtle] Here in the sunlight zone, there are plenty of shopping bags a hungry leatherback can confuse with its typical jellyfish supper. [GRAPHIC 3 – Anemone] In the twilight zone, this anemone has made itself a mobile home on a discarded food container — so even as the sunlight fades 200 meters below, the plastic does not. And unless we humans drastically cut plastic production now, it never will. By rushing a gift of $X or more now, you can help come to our deep blue seas' — and our entire planet's — rescue. [[DONATE NOW >>]]](https://prod.cdn.everyaction.com/images/van/TSM/TSMGP/1/55678/images/new-GREEN-792-Slice-1a%20%281%29.png)
![[GRAPHIC 4 – Bathypelagic zone ] Two miles down, there's not a ray of sunlight to be seen — but if we turn on a flashlight, you'll find that more adventurous plastic bags have already beat us to 12,360 feet. [[GRAPHIC 5 – Abyssopelagic zone]] Though few tolerate the pressure at this depth, the deep-sea lobsters who can must share the abyss with the fishing lines and other curious plastics that have settled in their shadowy plane. The animals here to greet us on the seafloor are scarce. Only plankton and a handful of ghastly fish can endure the crushing 8 tons of pressure per square inch.](https://als-totem.s3.amazonaws.com/emailimages/36107/GREEN-792-Slice2.png)
![[GRAPHIC 6 – Mariana Trench plastic] Yet nearly seven miles beneath in the Challenger Deep, scraps of plastic still greet us on the ocean's floor … and that's the deepest our trash can possibly go. The oceans are filled to the brim with our waste, but there's still time to turn the tides. That's why the Greenpeace global network is keeping the pressure on world leaders for a strong treaty that cuts total plastic production by at least 75% by 2040 — but we can't keep the fight afloat without your help. So now that you've seen the depths of the issue for yourself, rush a gift to power Greenpeace USA's work to save our planet, our oceans, and ourselves by ending the greed-fueled plastics plague for good. [[DONATE NOW >>]] Thanks for coming along for the journey, Greenpeace USA](https://als-totem.s3.amazonaws.com/emailimages/36107/GREEN-792-Slice3a.png)
