*[Enwl-eng] Newborn babies are drinking plastic pollution. Enough is enough

[ENWL]

 

Babies deserve better. Microplastics Were Found in Human Breast Milk. Demand the Government Protect Us!      Sign Now        A shocking new study confirms some of researchers' worst fears: microplastics have been found in human breast milk.   Scientists and environmental activists have been warning the world about the dangers of microplastics for well over a decade. These tiny chemical contaminants have been found on the tops of remote mountains, in ocean water thousands of miles from human settlements, in table salt -- and even in the organs of human beings. Now that we know microplastics are transferring to newborn babies, who rely on breast milk or formula for the first months of their life, there is no excuse not to tackle this problem head on -- our babies deserve better.   The good news is that we know legislation can be effective at reducing plastic pollution. The Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 was a great step in this direction, and now we need further legislation targeting the sources of this microplastic pollution that is ending up in tiny babies' bodies. Sign the petition now to tell Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency: work together to reduce microplastic pollution in our environments from the source! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. If members of Congress care as much about children as they claim to in all of their anti-abortion ads, they must step up to protect children from the grave risks of microplastic pollution in breast milk. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
