Whales that starve with a full stomach, because they have eaten indigestible plastic sheeting, seabirds, the strangulation in power residues, seals with centimeter deep wounds by plastic waste, which cut them deeper and deeper into the flesh.
Plastic bags have become a devastating and destructive force to wildlife.
Plastic bags have been the cause of death of thousands of animals like fish, turtles and birds.
We demand:
-Ban all Plastic Bags in Germany
-Cleanup the Oceans
Please sign and share the Petition!
What you can do:
-dont use plastic bags
-Do not throw garbage carelessly away, but always in the trash. Take it all back with what you have packed up for the day at the beach.
-Buy durable products - so you save valuable natural resources and reduce waste. Take advantage of free plastic packaging, returnable bottles from the region and their own bags for shopping.
Especially small plastic parts are plastic bags next to the most dangerous for the environment. Bottle caps, cigarette butt, candy wrappers and Co. are on the go in your pocket, not in the countryside.
-Fastfood and "to go" make garbage. Use the move lockable coffee cup, enjoy the food on site or take brought bread in a can from home. So you save at the same purse and nature.
-Disconnect your garbage. The only way to allow plastic and other materials can be recycled at all.
-When buying cosmetics products that they do not contain micro-plastic particles such. As polyethylenes.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Whales that starve with a full stomach, because they have eaten indigestible plastic sheeting, seabirds, the strangulation in the steep walls of Heligoland in power residues, seals with centimeter deep wounds by plastic waste, which cut them deeper and deeper into the flesh.
Plastic is durable, but in the course time porous and disintegrates into smaller and smaller fragments. In addition micro plastic from cosmetics and cleaning products, which comes with the sewage into rivers and oceans. The off invisible, tiny plastic parts swim long since in almost all waters and they attract toxins.
Micro plastic entering the food chain , researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute have an inventory of the Baltic and North Sea began, which is to clarify how high the plastic strain is with us. They do not have good news: In the North Sea already form first plastic carpets from microscopic particles. And that find their way into fish and crabs. The micro plastic thus enters the food chain and therefore at risk humans.
The Federal Environmental Agency defines plastic parts with a size of less than five millimeters as micro plastic. It comes from several sources: In the sea of discarded plastic garbage decomposes over decades and even centuries often in microscopic parts.
We demand:
Ban all Plastic Bags
Sincerely,
