P-SNAP provides resources and education on microplastics that we could not find on our own. P-SNAP is a community of motivated individuals who can use our voices to share insights and knowledge with each other and improve health for ourselves and future generations. I support P-SNAP because it empowers us to create change through community.

I value P-SNAP because the best work is being done not by leaders who get paid a lot, but by mutual aid. Everywhere, we are being censored or cowed into self-censoring. It’s not the world I want to live in. I don’t need a moment of silence. I need a moment of screaming.

Thanks to P-SNAP, I have a home base for my environmental health work. It provides me with a built-in community to discuss the latest scientific research, brainstorm awareness campaigns, commiserate about the challenges inherent in fighting plastic pollution, and celebrate policy wins.

I respect the quality and professionalism displayed in the P-SNAP organization. I was immediately drawn to it because of the energy and sense of purpose shown by all of the core members. I personally need P-SNAP. Before retiring 8 years ago, I realized that after 40 plus years of working in a downstream industry for petrochemicals (i.e., adhesives), that I desperately needed to atone for my fossil fuel-based “sins”. Supporting P-SNAP financially and with my expertise is my way of making a positive difference.

P-SNAP is the right idea at the right time. Human health is the angle that has the best shot at motivating society to address the plastics crisis, and physicians are trusted messengers. No other group is better positioned to sound the alarm about the health hazards of plastics.

As a retired physician, I wanted to engage at the level of science rather than just politics. I believe it is essential to distinguish clearly established evidence from speculation and to have balanced, data-driven discussions.

PSNAP provides an opportunity. It offers a unique platform where scientists and physicians can engage with one another using a shared understanding of the scientific method and critically examine the implications of plastics for both human and environmental health. Equally important, PSNAP equips its members with the tools needed to communicate accurate, evidence-based information to our communities. For anyone seeking a rigorous, science-centered approach to understanding plastics and health, PSNAP fills a critical and much-needed role.
