This is a petition for the United States Congress to pass legislation that bans the production and reckless disposal of unnecessary plastic products in the United States.
Why is this important?
Congress must form and commission a special committee to identify the worst offenders of the manufacturing of products that are currently filling up our landfills and oceans at an unsustainable rate, and pass laws that force these companies to change the way they package their products. Whales are washing up on our beaches with bellies full of plastic trash. The abhorrent conditions in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch threaten the sustainability, health and the future of human life on this planet, but is also a threat to the American Economy and costs millions of dollars to various industries each year by killing fish and destroying equipment. This absolutely cannot go on.
