>>> Dear Friends & Concerned Citizens
It’s alarming to consider all the ways microplastics impact our ecosystems and our bodies through the food we eat, the water we drink — and even the air we breathe.
Our next Livable Future Live event is on June 21, we’ll talk with author Matt Simon about his new book, “A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies.”
Together, we’ll break down the main sources of microplastics, discuss the latest research on how it damages our health and environment, and talk about solutions to reducing plastic production.
SAVE MY SEAT ~ Join us next Wednesday, June 21 from 3:00-4:00 pm ET (12:00-1:00 pm PT) to learn more from expert Matt Simon about the health and environmental impacts of microplastics, and solutions to stop the plastic crisis.
As he writes in his book: “Plastics are fossil fuels, and plastics are climate change, so in scorning the material we’ll tackle both crises – really, we can’t fix one without fixing the other.”
Sign up to join us for this important conversation! I hope we’ll see you there!
>>> Best wishes, Kate Schwanhausser, Senior Special Events Manager, Food & Water Watch

SEE ALSO: Hearing on Impact of Plastic Pollution, U. S. Congress, C-SPAN.org, June 15, 2023
Environmental advocates and other lobbyists testified on the effects of plastic pollution on human health before a Senate Environment and Public Works subcommittee. Environmental justice activist Sharon Lavigne discussed how she and her community in St. James, which is part of a stretch of land in Louisiana dubbed “Cancer Alley,” have suffered from illnesses allegedly due to toxic pollutants from plastic production facilities. Moreover, it was reported that minority and impoverished communities were most at risk from such pollution. Senators also debated among themselves and with the witnesses the extent to which the problem may be solved.
