In order to rally more support for this project, we have started a petition on the website, Change.org. Our petition is pushing to ban the use of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate). PET is used to make plastic bottles. We believe if the use of PET is at least limited and regulated, less water bottles will be made. With less water bottles being made, people will turn to using metal bottles or glass bottles. There will be less incentive to throw out plastic bottles if less of them are being made. So less plastic bottles will end up in the ocean.

We also created social media accounts to further promote our cause.
