Polluted oceans need our help!
Please consider signing our petition to keep people from putting trash into the ocean and killing of sea animals as a result. Did you know that every second in a dump truck dumps garbage in the ocean causing trash to float and sometimes sink. The trash usually takes over 500 years to dissolve but when the trash is just sitting animals get trapped in the trash and tangled. Unfortunately, many animals die instantly because of this while other animals suffer prior to their death.
You can help stop this!

The stories shared in the comments regarding the impact of oceanic pollution on marine life have been deeply moving. I am currently compiling these accounts to present to environmental policy makers as evidence of the urgent need for systemic change.
June 12, 2019
The momentum behind this initiative has grown significantly and indicates a shared commitment to protecting our oceans. This response affirms that the urgency of addressing marine pollution resonates with many people.

Trash is everywhere now. Not just the ocean but beaches too. Needs to stop or there wont be anything left for our kids.
The amount of garbage in the pacific is insane. Need more cleanup crews out there fast.
Saw a turtle caught in plastic last week while fishing. Ruined my whole day. We have to do better.
its honestly heartbreaking seeing what we have done to the ocean. stop throwing stuff in the water people!
DISGUSTING. keep our oceans clean!!!!
