PETITION: Stop Wildlife Deaths!

Every year, millions of birds, turtles, fish, and marine mammals suffer from injuries or die due to discarded fishing line. This thin, invisible, and hazardous plastic is incredibly dangerous. It entangles wings, fins, and necks, cutting through flesh, and sometimes causing slow, painful deaths.

The Advocacy Club, a student-led movement, aims to stop this heartbreaking torture. Scan the QR Code below to sign the petition.

Your signature can save the life of a duck, a dolphin, a sea turtle.

PETITION: Avoid Microplastics!

Microplastics are everywhere – in our food, our water, and even the air! Humans are ingesting unhealthy amounts of microplastics, leading to issues like cancer, respiratory issues, dementia, parkinson’s, and other harmful diseases! Learn about how humans are ingesting large quantities of plastics below!

Here’s some quick things you can start doing in your home to stop the spread of plastics into your body:

Purchases

Stop purchasing plastic-based products or packaging. Items such as models, toys, non-metal water bottles, and others are not only bad for the environment, but also dangerous to yourself. Other products which come in plastic packaging, or use plastic, should be bought sparingly if at all. Examples include plastic bags, plastic wrap, Ziploc bags, and Styrofoam.

Food Consumption

Avoid using plastic utensils at restaurants. Seafood should be eaten sparingly, and when eaten, should be taken from credible fisheries or restaurants. Avoid taking to-go plastic containers.

Water Consumption

Plastic bottles should be avoided as much as possible. If feasible, avoid drinking water from any source besides your own. Conduct microplastic tests on your tap water; filter the water before consumption.

Decorations & Clothing

Glitter, beads, and cosmetics should be avoided. Synthetic textiles such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and spandex should be avoided as much as possible.

Respiration

Install plastic filters throughout the house. Add an instrument for monitoring plastic levels in the air. Avoid rooms with lots of plastic.

Reusables

Use reusable items such as (canvas/cloth) bags, (metal) food containers, (metal) water bottles, (reusable) coffe cups, and others. Recycle effectively and efficiently.
