Ban Plastic Microbeads That Hurt and Kill Marine Animals

Target: Mr. Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia

Goal: Advocate for the ban of microbeads in personal care products to reduce plastic pollution in Australian waterways.

Microbeads are tiny plastic particles used in many personal care products such as exfoliating scrubs, toothpaste, and body washes. However, these microbeads are a major contributor to plastic pollution in our waterways, causing significant harm to marine life and the environment. The microbeads enter our waterways, are consumed by fish and other marine animals, and ultimately end up in our food chain.

To address this issue, we must take immediate action to ban the use of microbeads in personal care products. The plastic pollution caused by microbeads can have long-lasting effects on the environment and threaten the health of marine life. This is an issue that requires urgent attention and action to protect our planet.

Through the ban of microbeads, we can significantly reduce plastic pollution in Australian waterways. This will help to protect our environment and preserve the health of our marine ecosystems.

Sign below and demand action immediately.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Prime Minister Albanese,

I am writing to urge you to advocate for the ban of microbeads in personal care products to reduce plastic pollution in Australian waterways. Microbeads are a major contributor to plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways, and we must take immediate action to address this issue.

The use of microbeads in personal care products poses a serious threat to marine life and the environment. These tiny plastic particles are often mistaken for food by fish and other marine animals, leading to significant harm and even death. The microbeads also enter our food chain and can have long-lasting effects on our health.

To address this issue, we must take action to ban the use of microbeads in personal care products. This will help to significantly reduce plastic pollution in Australian waterways and protect our marine ecosystems. In addition, we must encourage the use of natural and biodegradable alternatives to microbeads in personal care products.

We urge you to take immediate action and support the ban of microbeads in personal care products to protect our environment and preserve the health of our marine ecosystems.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
