An expanse of logos is floating atop our oceans. By now we’re even advertising to the fish.
Plastic waves roll onto our oil-stained shore, dragging a dead turtle along for the ride.
He died choking on brand awareness, and a killer deal he just couldn’t resist.
Resources:
According to 2018 studies(*) 90% of plastic waste is never recycled. working together we can reverse this spiral. plastic permeates our oceans, a fishless future is a very real fear. we dump 8 million metric tons a year(*) this is an unacceptable amount, we have to hold the largest offenders(*) to account.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
