PAOV,
Today on World Oceans Day, people around the world are turning their attention to a huge threat to our seas: ocean plastics. Unfortunately, this issue is one that deserves attention every day of the year, but it doesn’t get it.
A recent study estimates that plastics will outweigh fish in our seas by 2050. It’s numbers like this that moved a college student from Ontario to start a global movement on Change.org to combat ocean plastics, and encourage his country to take stronger actions to prevent sea pollution.
Here are ways you can take action now to support Tyler’s efforts today:
-
Add your voice to his global movement of people fighting to protect our waters from plastic pollution.
-
Sign Tyler’s petition to urge Canada to join the United Nation’s battle against ocean plastics.
-
Read about Tyler's story and what inspired him to launch a movement on our platform.
On World Environment Day, Justin Trudeau told an Ontario family: “We can not walk away from the reality of climate change.” Today on World Oceans Day, you can urge Canada to join other countries that are committing to taking water pollution more seriously. Insert your voice and find others who support your efforts now on Change.org.
Thanks for taking action,
Laveza K.
