[aplausos] Hay una frase que desde hace muchos años me viene siguiendo y que es el eje fundamental de lo que hoy les vengo a compartir. Passionar. Tres palabras que para mí encierran todo aquello que somos capaces de hacer cuando algo nos mueve de verdad. La pasión es esa energía que no se ve, pero se siente. Es lo que hace latir nuestro corazón a mil por hora. Es lo que hace que los problemas se vuelvan pequeños. es lo que hace que nuestros límites se conviertan en la línea de salida hacia la meta.

Health Industry Concerns Regarding Plastic Pollution - US hospitals generate 14,000 tons of waste, with 20% being plastic, highlighting the healthcare sector's contribution to plastic pollution [3] - Medical students receive limited environmental health training (1-4 hours), potentially hindering awareness of plastic pollution issues [3] - The industry acknowledges that knowledge about the effects of plastics on human health is evolving rapidly [5][7] Health Risks Associated with Chemicals in Plastics - Chemicals in plastics, such as flame retardants, phthalates, bisphenols, and PFAS, can disrupt hormone signaling, affecting basic biological functions [7][8][9] - Exposure to these chemicals can lead to adverse health outcomes from infancy to adulthood, including metabolic disorders, cognitive deficits, and hormone-sensitive cancers [10][11][13] - Phthalates alone contribute to early heart disease deaths in 50,000 Americans aged 55-64 [12] Economic Impact of Plastic-Related Diseases - Diseases caused by chemicals in plastics cost $249 billion annually in the US, representing 12% of the gross domestic product [13][14] - Globally, these diseases result in 350,000 deaths, with social costs ranging from $510 billion to $374 trillion [15] - The global revenue of the plastics industry is around $500-700 billion annually, indicating that the health costs associated with plastic chemicals outweigh the industry's revenue [15] Call to Action for the Healthcare Industry - The healthcare industry needs to actively reduce non-essential plastic use and incorporate environmental hazard awareness into medical training and practice [20][21] - Routine testing for PFAS in approximately 150 million Americans with contaminated water is recommended, along with medical monitoring and clinical follow-up [17] - The industry has a history of leading in preventing environmental hazards, such as mercury and lead exposure, and can drive change in reducing plastic pollution [21][22]

Environmental Impact of Plastic Pollution - Plastic pollution is a pervasive issue, with plastic waste accumulating in the ocean and being deposited on beaches [2] - The accumulation of plastic waste in the ocean is described as a "crime of greed, negligence, waste, and overconsumption" [3] - Plastic materials are entering the food chain, with creatures ingesting plastic debris, including microplastics [13][14] - Plastic debris can act as "food impostors," with plastic nerdles visually resembling fish eggs, potentially harming marine life [15] Artistic and Activist Response - The artist creates "monuments" from plastic waste to highlight the issue of pollution and its impact [4][6] - The artist views plastic waste as a "zombie material that never dies," emphasizing its persistence in the environment [4] - The artist sees plastic materials as "messages from the ocean," urging people to pay attention to the environmental crisis [19][22] Call to Action - Cleaning up plastic is an act of care and reparation, but it is not sufficient to address the problem [16][17] - The industry needs to hold producers responsible for the plastic waste they generate [18] - The industry needs to reduce plastic consumption and remove plastic from the environment to protect the planet [23]

Environmental Impact of Plastics - 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, contributing to climate crisis as oil and gas companies increase plastic production [3] - By 2050, the amount of plastic could double or triple, exacerbating the climate crisis [4] - Over 4,200 out of 16,000 chemicals associated with plastic production pose significant hazards to human and environmental health [4][5] - Microplastics are found in remote environments, water, air, and even human organs, including the placenta and testicles [5][6] - The average human brain contains the equivalent of one plastic spoon's worth of microplastics [7] Plastic Production and Usage - 40% of all plastic produced today is used for packaging, which are often used briefly but last forever [8] - The industry is flooding markets with plastics and concealing the risks associated with it [4] Solutions and Alternatives - Reducing single-use plastics through policy reforms, brand audits, corporate accountability, and zero waste initiatives are crucial [11] - Investing in reuse systems, like the milkman model, can restore health and community connections [12] - Ending the unchecked production of plastics is essential to protect the environment and human health [12][13] Environmental Justice - Communities near production sites, landfills, and incinerators, often black, brown, indigenous, and rural communities, are disproportionately affected by plastic pollution [6]

When world leaders come together to solve the problem of plastic pollution, what do they need to get the job done. Well, to start, they need scientists. So, when I was a kid growing up in southern Louisiana, I spent so much of my summer collecting snakes and turtles.When I was 14 years old, my clubhouse was full of aquariums. There were snakes everywhere. I had a backyard pond.My mom let me dig with I counted 96 turtles. There baby alligator in there somewhere. I was a kid with a neighborhood zoo and I love ...

Every day I step in rivers of plastic. It's become my office. But sometimes I feel like the rivers are talking back.When you're standing chest high in these plastic rivers, it feels like the worst nightmare you've ever experienced. I have these spiders the size of my hands that are crawling up as I flick cockroaches on my neck. Every steps are steps onto the unknown.You feel something moving under the water. One day I had a snake the size of my arm, a python. This is the reality of so many rivers in Indones ...
