Almost
everything around us is made of plastic. And now, it turns
out, it's killing us. Scientists previously found
that tiny shards of broken-down plastic fragments, called
microplastics, had found their way into everything from beer
and tap water to table salt and seafood dishes. Now, it turns
out the contamination has spread even further. A recent study
examined tissues from human organs and found microplastics
in every single organ, for 100% of the samples. To
reiterate: this study found that microplastics were lodged
all throughout these humans' bodies. And
that's likely true for your body, too.
That might not seem like a big
deal on the surface. But research further showed that the
presence of microplastics is deadly to our immune
systems. When human immune cells were exposed to
microplastics coated in blood plasma, 60% of them died
within 24 hours. One person who can help us solve this
collosal problem is the multibillionaire founder of
Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos. His company is raking in billions of
dollars while polluting the earth and our bodies with endless
plastic packaging, and it needs to end now. Sign the petition and tell Jeff Bezos to commit
to 100% sustainable packaging for all Amazon.com
purchases!
Thank you,

P.S. Our bodies
are filled with microplastics that are ruining our health. Tell Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, to
commit to sustainability now! |
