Bluewater calls for more detailed research into real world effects of microplastic pollution on human health after new science shows the problem is worse than previously imagined.
Global offshore sailing hero and record-breaking yachtswoman Dee Caffari asks how safe is our drinking water in the first of a series of blog posts as a Bluewater global brand ambassador. She says we all need to ask more questions about tap water quality as more and more pollutants are shown to be ending up in our water system.
The planetary boundaries have been reached. Around 580 billion plastic bottles are produced every year, many ending up in our oceans. It's predicted by 2050 there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish. It’s time to act, to use our human ingenuity to tackle the problems of plastic waste and access to clean water. And that's why Bluewater has started a drinking water movement.
