Panel discussion: Why plastics matter, what they’re doing inside our bodies, and how we fight back.
Plastics are no longer just an environmental issue, they are a human health one. Micro- and nano-particles are now found in our lungs, blood and placentas, entering our bodies through the products we use, the food we eat and the air we breathe. This session explores how we fight back, from rethinking everyday consumer materials to pushing for the policy and system changes needed to reduce exposure at scale.
