Petition: Urge World Governments to Ban Plastic Products for Food and Beverages

You’ve probably already heard that, on average, we’re drinking a credit card’s worth of microplastics every single week. That already sounded bad, but now we’re learning more information – and it’s worse.

Researchers just published a groundbreaking study showing that, on average, plastic water bottles sold at grocery stores contain 240,000 pieces of nanoplastics that then spread throughout our bodies.

Nanoplastics are even tinier than microplastics – which makes them more dangerous for human health. They shed from plastic products, including water bottles and takeaway food containers.

There’s one way to stop this horrible trend now: companies must no longer be allowed to produce or use plastic products for food and beverages. Please sign this petition to urge major world governments to ban these products!
