"Every human on Earth is ingesting nearly 2,000 particles of plastic a
week. These tiny pieces enter our unwitting bodies from tap water, food,
and even the air, according to an alarming academic study sponsored by
the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, dosing us with five grams of
plastics, many cut with chemicals linked to cancers, hormone disruption,
and developmental delays. Since the paper’s publication last year, Sen.
Tom Udall, a plain-spoken New Mexico Democrat with a fondness for white
cowboy hats and turquoise bolo ties, has been trumpeting the risk: “We
are consuming a credit card’s worth of plastic each week,” Udall says.
At events with constituents, he will brandish a Visa from his wallet and
declare, “You’re eating this, folks!”"
