The great white shark has been on the decline for many decades, and the actions we have done contributed to it. One of the biggest threats the great white shark faces is pollution. The polluted waters can cause an increase of harmful chemicals inside the shark's system or affects their diet.

The amount of trash people create in a year are exponential. Not to mention billions of pounds of that waste ends up in the ocean. The type of waste that pollutes the ocean the most is plastic. In order to prevent plastic from entering the ocean, people should properly dispose of their plastic when at the beach. Recycling plastic waste helps to stop the decreasing population of the great white.

We need to dispose plastic waste at beaches properly, to save the great white shark. After you sign, spread the word to recycle plastic at beaches. As more people recycle, the great white will have fewer threats to its population. Saving the great white shark is beneficial because it keeps the ecosystem in balance. Sign this petition as a pledge to start disposing plastic waste at beaches properly.
