Petition: Demand the EPA Act Now to Remove Microplastics from Our Drinking Water

Boiling and filtering water can remove up to 90% of microplastics, according to new research—but why is this being left to individuals? We’re ingesting a credit card’s worth of plastic each week. Microplastics have been found in breast milk, mountaintops, and ocean trenches. The science is clear, yet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Water hasn’t taken decisive action.

It’s unacceptable to expect families to boil and filter every drop of drinking water while the government sits back. Public water systems, schools, restaurants, and gardens all remain exposed.

We need system-wide infrastructure solutions—not DIY fixes. The EPA must act now to protect our health and our environment.

Sign the petition now to demand the EPA remove microplastics from our water. Safe water is a right—not a luxury. Sign now and share.
