ON THE SAME WAY BUT DIFFERENT TO STOP THE KILLING

An urgent appeal from author and presenter Simon Reeve   |   View in browser



Dear John,

Our seas are being poisoned by plastic and we urgently need to #STOPthePlasticTide. I’m supporting the work of the Marine Conservation Society – please will you join me?

A few years ago, I saw the colossal plastic problem first-hand when I visited a remote island in Hawaii. The beach was covered in plastic rubbish and when we dug into the sand there was just more and more of it.

This is an environmental emergency and it’s a direct result of our throwaway society.

90% of seabirds, 56% of whales and dolphins, and 50% of turtles have been found to have plastic in their stomachs. Perhaps most frightening of all, because it’s right on our doorstep, 33% of fish caught in the UK have been found to contain plastic. It’s enough to make your stomach turn.

Our oceans are vast and it’s sometimes hard to see how we, as individuals, can make a difference.

By helping the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) use its evidence and expertise to change the UK’s mindset on plastic – you can be part of the solution.

As an Ocean Ambassador for MCS, I know how they have been leading the way in making single–use plastic a thing of the past. But they need your help to get there.

The 5p carrier bag charge, a ban on microbeads in personal care products and legislation promising reverse vending machines for drinks cans and bottles have all been pushed for and carried forward by the charity.

A donation of just £30 will help MCS continue this vital work.

Thank you so very much,
