[[link removed]]URGENT ACTION NEEDED: STOP PLASTICS from running through your washer and
POLLUTING our oceans, river, and soil! Please act now!
[[link removed]]
You know those laundry detergent pods people throw into their washers? They dissolve, but they DON’T DISAPPEAR! Research shows over 75% of the plastic from these pods end up in our rivers, oceans, and soil!
The pods’ plastic film is called Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) -- and it has a
dangerous potential to ABSORB TOXIC CHEMICALS, ANTIBIOTICS, and HEAVY METALS before working its way through the food chain. PVA was recently found in drinking water and human breast milk!
Friend, tell the EPA to BAN PVA PLASTIC from laundry pods
and fight the plastics crisis. Please send the EPA a message by 11:59pm TONIGHT!

[[link removed]]The dissolved laundry pod plastic joins other microplastics that pollute the water we drink, the food we eat, and even the air we breathe! In fact, the average person consumes a credit card’s worth of plastic EVERY WEEK!
To make matters worse, the corporate facilities producing plastic release climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions and spew hazardous pollution into nearby communities which are often largely people of color and low-wealth! If just 1 of every 12 people reading this email takes action, we can help push
the EPA to STOP laundry pods from accelerating the PLASTIC APOCALYPSE and
protect people and marine life! Please, Friend, sign now!
