                        Governments must ban plastic for food and beverages.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Nanoplastics Are Invading Our Blood, Cells, and Organs. Companies Must Go Plastic-Free Now!

                        You've probably already heard that, we're drinking about a credit card's worth of microplastics every single week. Now, researchers have discovered that, on average, plastic water bottles sold at grocery stores contain 240,000 pieces of nanoplastics.


                        Nanoplastics are even tinier than microplastics — which makes them more dangerous for human health. They shed from plastic products, including water bottles and takeaway food containers.

                        Because of their size, nanoplastics can travel into and invade our cells, bloodstreams, and organs — including our brains. They've even been found in placentas, meaning we can pass them along to fetuses.

                        Plastics are derived from fossil fuels and manufactured using a variety of toxic chemicals. Once deposited in our bodies, they have been linked to cellular and endocrine disruption. Even worse: these nanoparticles don't disappear. They just build up inside our systems.

                        Luckily, there are alternatives to plastic. Some are new technologies, like compostable products, and others have existed for generations, including the use of metal, paper, and glass instead.



                        There's one way to stop this horrible trend now: governments must ban companies from producing or using plastic products for food and beverages. Sign the petition to demand major world governments protect human health and the environment now!

                        P.S. Governments must ban plastic production and usage for food and beverages to protect us from dangerous nanoplastic particles. Sign the petition.
