Plastic Packaging: Threats to Human Health

Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens Solid Waste Advisory Boards

Four Solid Waste Advisory Boards of NYC

Plastics in packaging has a profound impact on human health and the environment.

Plastic is a significant component of our packaging waste stream. It is also the most harmful to the environment and to humans, and the least-recycled and least-recyclable.The Brooklyn and Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Boards invite you to learn from Cafeteria Culture&#x27;s public and environmental health advisor, Jenny Davies, MD MPH JD as she explains the ways in which plastic interacts with our human biologic systems. Then find out about the latest, urgently-needed, clear, and effective New York State legislation that YOU can help advocate for to confront the plastic pollution crisis by stopping it at the source. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): A10185/S9493Bigger Better Bottle Bill: A10184/S9164<blockquote>Cafeteria Culture (CafCu) is an environmental education organization working creatively with youth to achieve equitable zero waste, climate-smart school communities and a plastic free biosphere. Students in CafCu’s programs, overwhelmingly from lower-income communities living on the front lines of the climate crisis, provide their data and their voice to the climate emergency. CafCu’s award winning movie, MICROPLASTIC MADNESS, features Brooklyn students from their program and has reached audiences across the US and in 45 countries, inspiring youth action to stop plastic pollution with schools as hubs for change.</blockquote>
