It's Everywhere

Look in your fridge. Look in your cabinets. Everything is in plastic. It's leaching into our food and everything else we consume and being ingested in our bodies.

• The average person consumes approximately 5 grams of plastic every week - equivalent to eating a credit card.
• Scientists have found microplastics in 100% of human placenta samples tested.
• Microplastics have been detected in human blood for the first time in 2022, showing they can travel around the body.
• Over 14 million tons of microplastics lie on the ocean floor.

Health Impacts

Research shows that microplastics can:

• Cross the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in organs
• Cause inflammation and cell damage
• Carry harmful chemicals and heavy metals into our bodies
• Disrupt hormones and affect reproductive health
• Impact fetal development

Environmental Impact

Microplastics have infiltrated every corner of our planet - from the deepest ocean trenches to the highest mountains. They're in our air, water, and soil, affecting wildlife and ecosystems at every level of the food chain.
