🌍 A Successful One Planetary Health Symposium at ARTIS! 🌱
In collaboration with ARTIS, Plastic Soup Foundation hosted the One Planetary Health Symposium. It brought together leading scientists to present their research on the dangers of microplastics to our health, ecosystems, and planet.🌏

The list of companies involved in the event

Today I had the honor of speaking about human health effects of #microplastics in one of the oldest zoos in the world: Artis in Amsterdam. Many companies present to learn how they can help solve the world’s plastic problem. Including many young people, inspiring to see the next generation caring!

The event was called One Planetary Health and was organized by the Plastic Soup Foundation
