Phil Fletcher Chairman of

Environment committee
Rotary together with other
community environment

e昀昀ect on the environment.
Awareness is the object and slowly
we are seeing a positive e昀昀ect.
The Plasticblitz is now an ALL YEAR project
culminating in the National June event.
THE PLASTICBLITZ - BUILDING ROTARY
MEMBERSHIP & RAISING PLASTIC AWARENESS
We now have evidence of Nano plastic crossing the intestinal
barrier into the bloodstream where it can access all human
organs including the brain. We don’t yet know what
implications this might have to our future health. Consider
the e昀昀ect Asbestos and smoking had on human health.
We can not stop using plastic but we can control its use for
food perhaps and in particular improve how we dispose of it.
