Tell Amazon: Give Me A Plastic-Free Packaging Choice For Our Oceans

A single ingested piece of plastic can kill a sea turtle. Right now, garbage truck's worth of plastic enters our ocean every single minute. Sea turtles and oceans need our help!

Amazon can help by giving its customers a plastic-free packaging choice. Amazon generated 599 million pounds of plastic packaging waste last year, according to new estimates by Oceana.

Right now, when an Amazon customer submits an order, you have no choice but to accept plastic packaging - plastics that could go on to pollute our oceans.

Tell Amazon to give customers like YOU a plastic-free packaging choice at checkout to help fight the ocean plastic pollution crisis.

Amazon,

My name is {user_data~First Name} {user_data~Last Name}, and I am an Amazon customer.

I am emailing today with Oceana to request a plastic-free packaging choice at checkout. Right now, when an Amazon customer like me submits an order, we have no choice but to accept plastic packaging – plastics that could go on to pollute our oceans. Please note in my customer file that I do not want to receive plastic packaging in my future orders, and that I request a plastic-free choice.

Plastic is everywhere in our oceans, from the sea surface, to our beaches and coastline, to the deepest depths of the Mariana Trench. Sea turtles choke to death trying to eat plastic bags, wraps, and coverings, mistaking such pollution for jellyfish. A recent study found that 100% of sea turtles have ingested or become entangled in plastic.

The kind of plastic packaging used by Amazon – called plastic film – are not accepted by most municipal recycling programs in the United States and United Kingdom. Too often, this kind of plastic ends up landfilled, burned, or pollutes the environment, including the ocean.

I know that Amazon can reduce its use of plastic packaging as it has recently in Germany and India. Oceana surveyed Amazon Prime customers in the U.S. and UK and found 91% said Amazon should reduce its use of plastics packaging. As an Amazon customer, I agree – Amazon needs to stop hiding behind empty recycling pledges and reduce its plastic packaging footprint worldwide.

Please help protect our oceans and planet by giving your customers like me a plastic-free packaging choice.

Kind regards,
