Email Walmart executives: Demand clean ocean shipping THIS YEAR!
Walmart likes to show off how much they “love the ocean” — like by speaking at next month’s World Ocean Summit. But #1 ocean shipping polluter Walmart doesn’t even have a clean ocean shipping plan!
Join us in emailing Walmart executives with your ocean-loving Ship It Zero demands. We’re demanding Walmart to immediately ditch their fossil-fueled ships and commit to 100% zero-emissions shipping by 2030.
Last year, ocean heat hit a record high, increasing risk of ocean acidification, sea-level rise and extreme weather. At the same time, Walmart clocked in as the #1 most-pollutive retail importer to the U.S.
In 2019 alone, Walmart’s ocean shipping emitted more than 3.7 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere — as much as a U.S. coal-fired power plant burning for an entire year. Together with their cargo carrier CMA-CGM, Walmart has been dubbed a “super polluter in U.S. ocean shipping,” endangering the health of our ocean, air, and port-side communities.
So we need your help. Join us: email Walmart leadership demanding clean ships, clean oceans, and healthy port-side communities.
