Plastics are made from fossil fuels, and as we finally begin the much-needed shift away from burning oil and gas for energy, the industry is planning to ramp up plastic production, which will drive even more drilling.

Also, it’s not just the spills that threaten coastal ecosystems and economies, and ways of life. Now we have the very real and present danger of the climate crisis. We’re seeing it in bigger and more frequent storms and hurricanes, wildfires, droughts, coastal flooding — it’s here, today, and it’s going to get worse if we don’t shift away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible.said we must make that change within this decade if we want to leave a livable planet for future generations.
