When a package arrives at your doorstep, it’s easy to forget the journey it took to get there. Ninety percent of global trade moves along maritime shipping routes that pollute our ocean and the air we breathe.
If ocean shipping were a country, it would rank as the sixth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide. While shipping plays a critical role in our economy, its pollution is harming our ocean. We must tell Congress to address shipping pollution.
The International Maritime Pollution Accountability Act is a critical step toward cutting shipping pollution. This bill would require ships to pay a fee based on their emissions, and those funds would help accelerate the transition to zero-emissions shipping. Add your name and urge Congress to pass this bill.
