Dear friends,   Between 2016 and 2024, the amount of microplastics and nanoplastics found by researchers in human brains increased by about 50%.   This is incredibly alarming. Nanoplastics are small enough to travel from our food, drinks, and environment into our cells, bloodstreams, and organs. Many of the ones found in this study came from the material that is used in plastic packaging, bags, and drink bottles.   Additionally, plastics are manufactured using a variety of chemicals, and are themselves made out of fossil fuels. Plastics deposited in our bodies have been linked to cellular and endocrine disruption. This is what is now lodged inside our bodies, and they don't disappear. The particles just build up more and more inside our systems.   We cannot wait to act for our health and safety any longer. Join us in demanding major grocery chains like Walmart, Kroger, Costco, and Whole Foods stop carrying products packaged in plastic that's invading our bodies and brains! No generation has faced the level of pollution we are facing, but alternatives to plastic exist, and it's time to push the industry in the right direction.   Sign the petition to urge these grocery store chains to take action and commit to zero-plastic packaging!

Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team
