We reproduce below a recent CEC correspondence to the Tweed Shire Councillors regarding an upcoming agenda item to do with in our opinion not only issues of disposal, but also with our ingestion of micro and nano plastic molecules emitting from plastic in the environment.
Dear Councillor <name>.
Wednesday’s public access Council Meeting has an item on the agenda to do with plastic in the environment, namely the plastic lawn of a leisure facility and the Council’s Strategic Plan for Holiday Parks.
We would like to draw your attention to our webpage about the agenda item, and to some of the other posts to do with plastic in the environment.
As well as the more obvious issue of disposal, We Are All Ingesting Plastic.
The Caldera Environment Centre note the growing awareness of the public to the issue of ingesting plastic molecule emissions from plastics, especially from materials undergoing changes in temperature or in direct sunlight.
We are all becoming more aware of our unwanted ingestion of these plastic molecules and the retention of these molecules in our bodies.
The research being published is quite shocking. From plastic carpets, furniture, bedding and clothing, and food containers and packaging we can be ingesting literally millions of molecules each day and they are accumulating in our bodies.
Our hope is that before the meeting you will take the time to review the below linked Caldera Environment Centre web pages to do with this issue. Such that you have an understanding of our concerns.
Thank you for your attention. And for all you do.
Yours sincerely.
Caldera Environment Centre.
