Plastic: Its Impact on Our Health and Our World

Co-Chair of the Plastic Solutions Task Force of ESRAG (Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group)

Plastics contain chemicals we would never willingly eat, breathe, drink, or expose our children to—yet we do so every day. The consequences extend far beyond environmental damage: plastics are quietly infiltrating our health and shaping the hidden realities of global waste. The good news is, we can make a difference. We must—and we already know how.
