A sperm whale was found dead on a Spanish beach. 29 kilograms of plastic in its stomach blocked its digestive system. [1] This is the fate many fish, turtles, whales, birds, dolphins, and other animals risk daily as our ocean becomes a plastic soup. [2]

Thanks to public outcry, the European Commission proposed a new law to reduce single-use plastics and stem the huge tide of plastic waste. [3] Unfortunately some EU countries are likely under pressure from the plastic industry to derail this hopeful proposal for our environment. [4]

But we still have a chance to make the Commission’s proposal a reality. That’s why it's urgent they hear from us now before they go on holiday! Right after the summer, the proposal will be discussed by EU national governments. We need them to resist the plastic industry’s lobbying and to support the Commission’s proposal.

Our campaign last year with over 750,000 signatures and billboards across Brussels helped this proposal see the light of day. We have proven how effective we can be when we act together. We know we can make this happen together. We've done it once, so let's do it again!

Sign to join the second anti-plastics tide!
