Save Our Pacific is a 501(c)(3) non profit dedicated to the elimination of single use plastic bags. These bags start off their life as fossil fuels and continue to destroy ecosystems after their use. Birds confuse them as food. Turtles get them trapped in their throats thinking that it’s a jellyfish. Fish eat tons of plastic each year, which if they’re caught for food, go into your body.

It’s expected that by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea. Through Save Our Pacific, we want to end the use of these single use plastics, therefore ensuring that our oceans are that much cleaner.

More plastic in our oceans means more greenhouse gas emissions. This is a worldwide issue that needs a solution. Here in the US, we can definitely cut back on our plastic bag use. There’s no reason why we can’t limit our plastic use down to other countries levels.

Our oceans are precious. There’s no way we can survive on our planet without them. So join us in protecting the most valuable resource we have.
