Donald Trump just announced he’s going to open the Pacific Ocean
to deep sea mining!
That means his friends will get permits to vacuum up the ocean
floor, destroy irreplaceable marine life, and make billions –
for destabilizing the entire planet’s ecosystem.
This is the kind of chaos Trump brings. But the government
department in charge of the final regulations has insisted on a
public comment period, which means civil servants who care about
the environment will be reviewing all our objections – and could put
a stop to Trump’s plan.
We need as many people as possible to speak out and give
them justification to act:
Sign and share now to save the ocean from
Trump!
Scientists estimate there’s an unbelievable 1.5 million
undiscovered species in the ocean. We know next to nothing about
the ecosystem that underpins all life on Earth – it’s like an alien
planet right at home.
That’s why scientists, experts, environmentalists, and
everyone with a heart or a brain has urged extreme caution
before greedy industrialists start mining the deepest, most
vulnerable parts of the ocean for minerals. Almost every country in
the world has agreed to caution – but not the US.
That doesn’t mean we can’t stop this. We’re seeing how courts
and ordinary workers can get in the way of the worst of Trump’s
plans. And this deep sea mining plan affects the entire world –
so hearing from across the world is critical. Most of the ocean
floor Trump is targeting isn’t even in US territorial waters!
The world has to survive 4 years of Trump. If he’s poisoned our
oceans by the time he leaves, his impact will carry on for
generations.
Sign and share to stop Trump from destroying the
ocean
