Plastic Inside and Out

Plastic isn’t just polluting our environment; it’s in our bodies.

Most of us understand plastic as a waste problem. Something to keep out of oceans, out of landfill, and away from future generations. But science is revealing a more immediate reality.

Microplastics have been found in our blood vessels, lungs and digestive systems. Chemical additives used in plastics are turning up in food, water and soil. These substances may be affecting our immune systems, brains, hormones, and health in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

As researchers uncover these impacts in real time, policy and governance is slow to respond. The systems meant to protect us are falling behind the science.

Secure free tickets and learn how serious the problem is, and what it will take to respond. Because this isn’t just about the planet. It’s personal.
