Microplastics Challenge
May 01, 2026
Microplastics are in our food, our water, and our bodies — and the science on their health risks is getting harder to ignore. The good news: there are simple steps you can take right now to protect yourself and your community.
The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) just launched Microplastics Are Micromonsters — a science-based public health campaign bringing urgent attention to the growing body of scientific evidence that microplastics are accumulating in the human body and may be harming our health, and how people can reduce their everyday exposure.
This large-scale public education push aims to reach millions of Americans — starting with ads in New York City's Times Square, along with ads on TV, radio, digital, taxi tops, and billboards nationwide.
You can participate too! Sign up for NRDC's Microplastics are Micromonsters Challenge before midnight on Monday, May 4 and they'll send you one practical, science-backed challenge per week to reduce your exposure to microplastics — from what's in your kitchen to what's in your medicine cabinet.
