We're a week into #PlasticFreeJuly, so this op ed from #JudithEnck resonates even more loudly. #PFAS and #microplastics are in our drinking water -- and there is no "safe" level of contamination.

But avoiding single-use plastic is neigh impossible for consumers. The change has to come from bipartisan policies that halt the production, use, and disposal of plastic.

Il n'y a pas d'autre solution

C'est le secrétaire général de l'ONU qui le dit

#PlasticCrisis
#EndocrineDisruptors

As the #UN negotiates a historic #GlobalPlasticTreaty, they need to remember that addressing the #PlasticCrisis also addresses the #ClimateCrisis.

According to a report from the Center for International Environmental Law,
“By 2050, plastic production and incineration could emit 2.8 gigatons of CO2 per year, releasing as many emissions as 615 five-hundred-megawatt coal plants.” https://t.co/K5qgAcGRLk
