Working to End Plastic Pollution & Its Toxic Impacts
[link removed]
MAY 2024
[Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) is amplifying frontline voices highlighting the extensive negative impacts of continued plastic production and calling for solutions on a global scale.]([link removed])
Dear John,
Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) is amplifying frontline voices highlighting the extensive negative impacts of continued plastic production and calling for solutions on a global scale. Recently, Jess Conard from Beyond Plastics told her story of [the toll of a recent massive train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio]([link removed]), and Jo Banner of The Descendants Project shared her community’s efforts to [keep industrial polluters out of Wallace, Louisiana]([link removed]).
Even if you are not on the frontlines, [plastic pollution harms you]([link removed]). This month we learned there are plastic particles in [testicles]([link removed]) that are likely impairing sperm quality and male fertility in both [humans and dogs]([link removed]). To learn more about how plastics threaten human reproduction and survival, [listen to my conversation with Dr. Shanna Swan]([link removed]), author of Count Down: How Our Modern World Is
Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.
As awareness of the plastics crisis grows, people are increasingly demanding change. Recent lawsuits filed against bottled water brands claim that it’s deceptive to use labels like “natural spring water” because bottled water has been found to contain harmful plastic particles and chemicals. [PPC weighed in on this story]([link removed]) to explain how the presence of plastic pollution in our food and water is a larger issue in need of systemic change. To that end, we recently spoke about the need for [beverage]([link removed]) and
[coffee]([link removed]) companies to focus their efforts on engaging in plastic-free reuse and refill, not just redesigning thinner plastic bottles and cups—a false solution to the growing crisis.
PPC and our allies are working hard to ensure policies meant to end plastic pollution are effective. We recently expressed [our support]([link removed]) for legislation that would close a glaring loophole in California’s single-use plastic ban that had allowed stores to continue distributing plastic bags, as long as they were labeled as “recyclable.” We know that [plastic bags are not recyclable]([link removed]). We are excited to share that California has just passed such legislation, which will completely prohibit distribution of plastic bags at retailers. While this is a win, it’s important
to point out that all such loopholes must be prohibited in plastic reduction legislation, including [California’s SB 54]([link removed]), from the start so time is not wasted in establishing solutions to plastic pollution.
Lately, there is no shortage of news about the harmful impacts of plastics on our bodies and the environment. But the good news is that there are myriad [ways to take action]([link removed])! As we gear up for a busy June and Plastic-Free July, we remember these words from PPC Scientific Advisor Michael Mann, the model for Leonardo DiCaprio's character in the hit film Don't Look Up, and Climate Scientist Katharine Hayhoe: “[the antidote to doom is doing]([link removed]).” Join us and [take action now]([link removed]). And if
you’re feeling creative, help us all imagine and visualize a world free of plastic pollution in our [Independence from Plastic film contest]([link removed])—the deadline to enter is June 7.
Onward,
[Dianna Cohen]

★ [From Womb to World, Plastics Harm Babies: How to Protect Their Health]([link removed])Plastic poisons all people, but some people are harmed worse than others. With their sensitive hormones and immune systems, and developing bodies, unborn babies, infants, children, and pregnant people are among those most vulnerable to the toxic impacts of plastic. For Mother’s Day, we shed light on the health risks of plastics and what you can do to avoid them, to help keep you and your little one(s) healthier. [Learn more]([link removed]).
★ [Spring Cleaning: How to Tidy Without Plastic and Toxic Chemicals]([link removed])While often we associate home cleaning supplies with synthetic scrubbers and harsh ingredients packaged in plastic, it’s far healthier to clean without the plastic and toxic chemicals. You can avoid harmful chemicals and plastics by incorporating nontoxic and zero-waste principles into your cleaning routine. Luckily, it’s quite easy to do, with many healthier, plastic-free cleaning options highly accessible, DIY-friendly, and available at an even lower cost than most conventional options. [Learn
