People and Planet > Plastics and Pollution

Plastics are everywhere. Plastics have been found from atop Mount Everest all the way down to the Mariana Trench…even inside us humans.

But, we have some good news—and we can all take action. Congress introduced the bipartisan Plastic Health Research Act, which would kickstart research into the effects of plastics on human health by directing the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to carry out, expand and coordinate research programs to help understand the potential health effects from plastic exposure.

It's time to put people and our planet above plastics and pollution. Add your name and call on our elected leaders to pass the Plastic Health Research Act now.
