The Trump campaign just launched its most outrageous publicity stunt yet, selling plastic straws to ‘own the libs.’
You read that right. Donald Trump’s campaign is selling plastic straws to fundraise for his reelection! This gimmick shows just how clueless this administration still is on environmental issues.
I know you are not clueless. Trump’s selling his wildlife-endangering, community-trashing straws for $15 a pack. Will you donate $15 to Greenpeace right now to resist Trump, resist single-use plastic and power the movement for people and planet?
Donald Trump has based his entire presidency on lies and divisiveness, so it is no surprise that he is selling plastic straws. Like single-use plastic, his presidency is also a cheap throwaway with disastrous long term consequences!
As usual, Trump has either missed the point or is outwardly lying to his base. The vast majority of plastic straws are not recycled in the U.S., which means they end up incinerated, piling up in landfills, or hurting wildlife like turtles and whales. He's also doubling down on his absolute hatred for anything resembling protection for the planet we share. From climate change to plastic waste, Donald J Trump does not give a damn about you, your community, or the environment.
Donald Trump is simply doubling down on preserving a lifeline for his friends in the chemical and fossil fuel industries. Shocking.
This is a desperate move from a desperate president for a losing industry. Don’t let them get away with it. Donate to Greenpeace today!
Thanks for all you do,
John Hocevar
Oceans Campaign Director, Greenpeace USA
P.S. We were going to kick off our Summer Pledge Drive tomorrow, but Trump selling plastic straws is too outrageous not to share. Your generous donation today will determine how big and bold our resistance can be for the rest of the year. Don’t let Trump get away with this trash. Donate today!

Unbelievable. Donald Trump's campaign is selling plastic straws to fundraise for his reelection and to send the message that no matter how important an issue is, he simply does not care about the future of this planet.
What's more important, scoring cheap political points to “own the libs” or fighting for a future that protects the planet we all share? For Donald J Trump, the fate of the oceans is clearly just another cheap publicity stunt.
We're not going to stand for it - and neither will you. Trump is selling his straws for $15 - pledge a $15 monthly gift now to help Greenpeace end the flow of plastic pollution choking our oceans, fight back against his disastrous environmental policies, and to continue all of the fights we're taking on right now.
