Newborn babies deserve a healthy start free of toxic #phthalates found in #plastics. Phthalates are linked to developmental, reproductive & immune harm.

To protect health, we need government & corporate policies that reduce the use of toxic plastics & dangerous chemical additives like phthalates!

Are any #plastics good ? For me it’s plastic shopping bags , u cant get them any more . Their bad for the environment . I agree . But, so are cars:try ride my #bike every where I can . Recallable bags handles are too long to hang on my bike .Tying knots don’t work:using old ones as long as I can
