Alarming findings about exposure to microplastics.

Friend, this is alarming.

New research from EWG reveals adults could be ingesting up to 12 plastic shopping bags’ worth of tiny plastic particles each year!

These micro and nanoplastics are everywhere. They’re in the food we eat, the water we drink, and shockingly, even inside our bodies.

Plastic contamination is unavoidable – these particles are shed from everyday items like plastic containers, water bottles and cutting boards, infiltrating every corner of our lives. So every day, we all unknowingly consume these tiny bits of plastic – and they never fully break down.

This isn’t just about pollution–it’s about our health. Long-term exposure to plastic particles can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory problems, hormone disruption, and even an increased risk of cancer. Yet, little has been done to address this growing crisis.

We need your help. Your input can help us push for stronger regulations to protect us from plastic contamination. If you believe we should hold polluters accountable and reduce plastic exposure, please answer this question:

 
   
 

Thanks for your input, friend. Your response will help guide our efforts to protect your health and environment.
