Organized Money: Big Oil and Big Plastic Are One and the Same

Plastic is in many ways a vital technology, but did we really need to use it everywhere?

Removing plastic from our food chain yields quick results, researchers say

Perth researchers find levels of plastic chemicals in the body can be reduced within a week by avoiding plastic food packaging and kitchen utensils.

Most Of The Microplastics In Urban Air Come From Tires

Particles produced from brake and tire wear now represent the majority of emissions from road transport. As the EU cracks down on them, scientists urge others to follow.

Micro and #nanoplastics are a great health issue. At the New York event, #allatra presented #evidence of their presence in all #human tissues. This implies long-term systemic #risks that demand solutions. https://allatra.org/press-release/allatra-new-york-hosts-community-event-impact-micro-and-nanoplastics-human-health

Why didn't people today inform enough about such risks as #nanoplastics? At ChangeNOW 2026, #allatra highlighted how #science must guide decisions for our security. https://www.fox44news.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/904017313/at-changenow-2026-in-paris-allatra-held-an-expert-workshop-on-the-global-risks-of-nanoplastics/

So Robert F. Kennedy Jr has decided to investigate microplastics and research ways to remove them from the human body.

The human body. Not, apparently, the environment.

Removing microplastics and nanoplastics from the human body but NOT from the environment would be like removing a cup of water from the ocean and declaring the world dry.

Nanoplastics = invisible global risk.
Join ALLATRA GRC at ChangeNOW Summit 2026 (Paris) for a workshop on this emerging threat and its impact on human health & the planet.

#PolylacticAcid is a #biodegradable #plastic that can be broken down into oligomeric lactic acid (OLA) #nanoplastics. This study shows that OLA particles can accumulate in the #placenta & #fetus in pregnant mice, inducing placental vascular dysplasia & fetal growth restriction @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4bR4e6W

Kimchi probiotic helps remove nanoplastics from the intestine.

A bacterium isolated from kimchi can bind to nanoplastics in the intestine and increase their elimination through feces, a Korean study suggests.

Planes can’t land. Storms, floods, tornadoes and earthquakes are intensifying worldwide — from Indonesia to the U.S.
Scientists warn: micro- and nanoplastics may be disrupting climate processes.
