Hidden in Plain Sight: The Unseen Impact of Plastics and Microplastics

Next date: Sunday, October 13, 2024 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Join us for a thought-provoking talk where Vipul Vyas will explore how plastics and microplastics have become inextricably woven into the fabric of our daily lives. Just as lead and asbestos were once considered harmless, we are now uncovering the alarming truth about plastics: their presence in our environment and bodies may be causing significant harm.

We'll discuss:

• the consequences of our dependence on plastics, from developmental damage in fetuses and newborns to the global decline in sperm counts and testosterone level
• the cancer risks and the pervasive pollution that plastics contribute to our planet
• practical advice on how to reduce your exposure to these hidden dangers 

Don't miss this important discussion that could change the way you think about the everyday materials in your life. Let's learn together how we can take small steps to create a healthier, safer world.

Vipul is the co-founder of The Tribalist which he created to help ween us from our plastic addiction.
