OTTAWA, ON, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
EARTHDAY.ORG, is shining a light on the plastic industry and
their apparent indifference to the health implications of
microplastics and their toxic chemicals. Strokes, cancers,
obesity, male infertility, ADHD and more have all been associated
with plastics.
"We know that the plastic industry doesn't give a fork about the
planet," said Tom Cosgrove, Chief
Creative & Content Officer, EARTHDAY.ORG. "It's time for the
plastic industry to come clean – what do they know about
microplastics and their impact on human health.
"We want to thank our partners, Extra Credit Projects and Out of
Home Advertising Association of America (OAAA) for helping us get
the message about plastics out there with this campaign," said
Aidan Charron, Director of End
Plastic Initiatives. "The fork is all over the world and
making its point."

As well as making their point in Ottawa, EARTHDAY.ORG took their message to
Times Square in NYC, projecting PLASTIC IS TOXIC.
"It's the best way to get the message out there, because
plastics are not inert, they degrade over time and shed
microplastics that in turn leach out toxic chemicals," said
Kathleen Rogers, President. "We are
all breathing them in and ingesting them involuntarily, but the
industry won't talk about it." We need to know what they know.
