Save Sea Turtles and other sea creatures
Apr 29, 2007
I am writing to you in hopes of you joining the Green Movement that is sweeping the nation. It is imperative that we as consumers and citizens of the world act to save our world. Please join us. In view of the City of San Francisco ban on the use of plastic bags, and top retailers in the UK agreeing to cut their usage by 25%, I ask you to make every effort possible to follow suit on a national basis. It would not only help our world as a whole, it would be a large public relations boost for retailers such as yourself if you were to take it on voluntarily.” WAL-MART Wal-Mart SEARS CORP which includes K-Mart Sears DOLLAR GENERAL Dollar General TARGET STORE Target HOME DEPOT Home Depot FIVE FOR RETAILERS, AND A PLEDGE: Save Sea Turtles from Extinction - Take the Plastic Bag Pledge Each year, thousands of sea turtles choke on plastic bags after mistaking them for jellyfish, a favorite food. Leatherback turtles have been around for 100 million years, but if changes are not made for these turtles, they could be wiped out from the Pacific Ocean in just ten more years. Did you know that between 4 and 5 trillion plastic bags are used each year globally, and each one can take between 500 to 1000 years to decompose? Moreover, other sea critters like sea lions and dolphins have also been found with their stomachs filled with plastic bags! By reducing plastic bag use and recycling or reusing plastic bags, everyone can help these ancient creatures. Sign the pledge below to signify your commitment to reduce your plastic bag use, and add a comment to share your ideas on how. Pledge [ send green star]
