My name is Dr. Elaine Leung, I’m a SumOfUs member from Vancouver, Canada. And I’m also a marine biologist.

Working in some of the most remote parts of the world, I’ve seen first hand the destruction caused by plastic waste from companies like McDonald’s.

It’s so heartbreaking to see turtles and seabirds living in oceans of plastic trash, including straws. And to think, the execs of companies like McDonald’s that are causing this destruction probably never see it themselves.

In just a few weeks McDonald’s will have its annual shareholders meeting -- if you donate today I can be there too.

I live thousands of miles from Illinois where the meeting is happening, so I need your help to get there and stand up for the turtles and our oceans.

Please can you chip in today to stop McDonald's polluting our oceans?
