information to protect public health and the environment. EWG's plastics work focuses on the toxicity of plastics to human health, which is not fully understood
or adequately tested. Because plastics are ubiquitous today, EWG helps consumers to minimize toxic exposures (like BPA and phthalates) by choosing their plastics
carefully and avoiding them where possible, especially when pregnant and caring for young children. |

to the problem of plastic litter in our ocean and marine environments. The goal of the program is to educate the public on the impacts single-use
plastics have on marine environments, and how individuals can make changes in their daily lives and within their communities that will stem the flow of
plastics into the environment. RAP also calls upon people to reduce their plastic footprint by reducing or eliminating the use of products such as
single-use plastic water bottles and plastic bags. |
