6 x more plastic than plankton
1999 Plastic to plankton ratio = 6:1
2008 Plastic to plankton ratio =
46:1

Plastics absorb POPs, such as PCB’s and DDT.
PCB DDT
Mato, Y et al, Environmental Science & Technology
Plastics and Styrofoam are toxics sponges.Japanese study found up to 1 million times more pollutants onplastics pieces than in ambient seawater.

Plastics leach the chemicals they are made of.
1) Bisphenol A - plastics hardener- DVD’s,canned food lining, older Nalgene bottles
Found in the urine of 93% of the U.S. population.
Links to breast cancer, obesity, mood disorders, etc.
Hunt, Patricia August 1998, Current Biology
2) Phthalates - a class of plastics softeners - nail polish, children’s toys, teething rings, bath books, moisturizers, cosmetics
Easily release into environment as the plastic ages and breaks down over time.
Endocrine disruptors / hormone mimickers

What can we do?
BYO bag BYO mug BYO to-go container BYO H2O!
If your hands are free - pick up three! Pick up plastic trash on beaches, and cut plastic rings & 6+ pack holders. Think ONE LESS PIECE.

REFUSE REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE
Do a plastics audit in your home or business, see where you can cut back (e.g. bar soap vs liquid soap). Homemade salsa!
Go to a local council meeting and educate your elected officials. Use your vote. Use your voice. Spread the word…
Engage yourself in the everyday choices you make: look at packaging, read labels, ask questions…
Demand EPR legislation…
