The Plasticblitz
2026 & beyond
Phil Fletcher Chairman of
the Rotary Thames Valley
Environment committee
Rotary together with other
community environment
organisations are having a positive
e昀昀ect on the environment.
Awareness is the object and slowly
we are seeing a positive e昀昀ect.
There will not be an o昀케cial
Plasticblitz this year, but that is not to say that clubs
can’t have their own local Plasticblitx. We hope to
anounce the End Plastic Soup events soon
SINCE INCEPTION THE PLASTICBLITZ HAS BEEN
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.
Phil
