Petitions
- The Fashion Industry Must Change
"Fashion is said to be a reflection of culture. What does it say about our culture when it endangers the environment and all living things? This $2.5 trillion industry is shockingly unregulated. Citizens alone cannot change the industry. Government legislation must be implemented now. We’re calling on the US Administration to instruct the following agencies to create regulations to protect the environment and the health of living things. " - Global Plastics Treaty
"The Global Plastic Treaty is an opportunity for the United Nations and Governmental Organizations to prove the health of the planet and its citizens take priority over an industry threatening the health of every human on Earth. Most importantly, though, it is a chance for our world to come together as one, and truly pledge and commit themselves to restoring the planet, following the model of the successful international cooperation found in the Montreal Protocol. The Global Plastics Treaty has the potential to end plastic pollution, protect human health, and lead to a waste-free world. We cannot allow our governments to waste this pivotal opportunity." - Our Power, Our Planet Renewable Energy Petition
"This petition will be presented to the United Nation’s leadership and delegates at the UNFCCC Conference of Parties 30 (COP 30) in November 2025. Join us in calling for a healthier, more sustainable, and equitable future powered by renewable energy by signing this petition today. Together, we can make this change happen. It’s Our Power. It’s Our Planet. Triple Renewable Energy by 2030."
