👉 We should know Commission’s thinking & how unaccountable RSB could be influencing it.

We need:
➡️ Robust & ambitious REACH proposal published now
➡️ Full transparency of #BetterRegulation process now, followed by major overhaul of deregulatory thinking behind it
➡️ Lobby firewall to protect decision-making from #Toxics industry

At the #StateHouse, our #Toxics Policy lead, Clint Richmond, testified that the #Massachusetts Constitution states "people shall have the right to clean air & water". And pervasive #petrochemicals like #PFAS are "the ultimate environmental #contaminant". Let's #ActOnPFAS. #MAPoli

Check out some new factsheets from @CHEMTrust on harmful chemicals in food contact materials like packaging

The factsheets - in multiple languages - focus on 5 countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) and feature information on studies that have found harmful chemicals in food packaging, biomonitoring studies, public perceptions and actions taken:

#PlasticsTreaty #INC1 has started: What is science telling us?

🔴 #Detoxify our economy, beyond #plastic, & deal with it #upstream

🔴When we recycle plastic, we are introducing more #toxics into the products. rPET is more toxic than virgin PET!🧪

Stop letting local fish listen to Iron Maiden! They won’t stop head-banging and it’s annoying! Love, the National Park Service

Hello humans of the #Fediverse :) By way of introduction, I spend most of my waking hours exploring how to regulate #plastic in order to reduce harm to ecosystem + human health, environmental injustice and #climate chaos.

#ScienceTwitter was a great resource but #ScienceMastodon could be much greater (no algorithms!). Let's grow this community!
