Sample postcard to Ban Plastic Beverage Bottles
(Hint: printing makes it easier to fit on a postcard and easier for the recipient to read)
Over 1 million plastic beverage bottles are purchased every minute, most containing carcinogens. These bottles pollute our waterways and our bodies. I urge you to enact legislation to ban plastic beverage bottles.

Slightly Longer Version for Emails
Over 1 million plastic beverage bottles are purchased every minute. Two hundred thousand of these are by Coke alone. Plastic beverage bottles are one of the most frequently found items during beach cleanups. These bottles contain high levels of the carcinogen antimony and often cobalt as well.
Plastic bottles pollute our waterways and our bodies. We need to stop plastic at the source.
I urge you to enact legislation to ban plastic beverage bottles and replace them with sustainable glass or metal.
