Join the Fight for a Healthy Ocean

Your tax-deductible donation keeps the ocean healthy for marine wildlife like turtles, polar bears and whales, and for all people whose lives and livelihoods depend on it.

In 2013 alone, we lost more than 800 manatees. That’s 15 percent of the 5,000 manatees that call Florida home. We know manatees depend on seagrass meadows for food and shelter. The world also depends on these meadows due to their ability to absorb twice the amount of carbon than temperate or tropical forests. Please join us in urging Governor Rick Scott to protect manatees and reduce ocean acidification by restoring Florida?s seagrass meadows.

A brand new report reveals that 10 to 28 billion pounds of plastic end up in the ocean every year. That means there is 10 times more plastic in the ocean than we previously believed. Secretary John Kerry is already working with the international community to plan the next, Our Ocean Conference. There?s no better place to bring governments and corporations around the world together to solve this issue. Please join us in urging Secretary John Kerry to show as much love for the ocean as you do, by making plastic pollution a priority during October?s Our Ocean Conference.

Get Factory Farm Waste Out of Organic

Waste from factory farms, or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calls them, is being used and marketed as an ?organic? fertilizer. That?s a huge problem, because factory farm waste is contaminated with hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, disease organisms, heavy metals, and other undesirable substances, including some disease-causing agents, such as? e.g. Salmonella and E. coli bacteria, that may survive the composting process.Fortunately, the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) is discussing plans to address the problem. We want the NOSB to recommend that factory farm waste be banned from use from organics.

Please?TAKE ACTION BY APRIL 7th!? ?Tell the National Organic Standards Board: Get factory farm waste out of organic!
