Global Advocates Tell Plastics Treaty Delegates: Our Health is in Your Hands

Punta del Este, Uruguay - As delegates from countries globally head here for the first intergovernmental Plastics Treaty negotiations (INC1) this week, women leaders from IPEN’s worldwide network displayed a dramatic banner reading “Our Health is in Your Hands - Ban Toxic Chemicals in Plastics” at La Mano, an iconic sculpture of the area. The women also showed “pregnant” bellies to emphasize the health threats, including infertility and reproductive health impacts, that chemicals in plastics pose to women, children, and families.
