Microplastics have been found throughout the Human Body 🧑‍⚕️ 

Microplastics in water, soil, and human blood pose serious health risks. The plastic crisis requires urgent and effective action. Legislator Lisa Kaul’s support for the New York Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act represents a significant step towards addressing this problem. By making producers responsible for their packaging waste, reducing packaging waste overall, and banning toxic chemicals, New York can lead the fight against this environmental and health threat. Public opinion strongly favors these measures, highlighting the need for legislative action to protect our health, environment, and future generations. Click here.
