<div class="x_show-desktop" dir="ltr" style="">Dear Avaazers,<br>
<br>
We've all seen the horrifying images -- <b>whale bellies filled with bottles and bags. Islands of trash stretching for miles.
</b>Turtles tangled and drowned. <br>
<br>
It's a planetary crisis and, unless we act now, <b>there’ll be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050!
</b><br>
<br>
But an amazing new study just found <b>90% of plastic streaming into our oceans comes from just 10 rivers in Africa and Asia.</b> If we clean up these rivers, we could literally save our oceans!
<br>
<br>
So instead of waiting for someone else, experts and Avaazers have come up with a plan to kick-start action. If just 50,000 of us donate a small amount today, we’ll:
<ul>
<li><b>Send plastics experts to cities along the rivers</b> to devise clean-up plans;
</li><li><b>Launch massive public campaigns </b>along the polluting rivers; </li><li><b>And lobby donor countries to fund the 10 rivers plan.</b></li></ul>
UN experts say our movement is uniquely placed to put this plan into motion. <b>Chip in what you can now -- let’s stop this plastic plague</b> killing our planet:

Our addiction to plastic is outrageous. <b>We use 1.4 BILLION plastic bottles. Every. Single. Day.
</b>Only a fraction will ever be recycled, and once they get into the environment, they take up to 1000 years to break down!
<br>
<br>
The 10 rivers are in countries like Cambodia, Laos and India, and they're asking for help. Experts say all these plastic hotspots lack know-how, will and resources. But Avaaz has members in every country. We have a unique track record of mass campaigning. And
we know the top plastics experts ready to get to work. We can do this! <br>
<br>
Plastic pollution is choking the life out of our oceans. But if we raise enough today, we could
<b>become the global movement breathing life back in. Chip in now: </b><br>
