¡Ya estamos hasta la m***** de los plásticos tóxicos! 😵🚫 Este Día de las Madres, únete a mujeres que están alzando la voz contra los químicos tóxicos escondidos en los plásticos, cosméticos, envases, y productos que usamos todos los días. Las mamás no nos quedamos calladas cuando se trata de la salud de nuestras familias. 💪🏽💥 Desde los biberones hasta los tuppers, los plásticos están llenos de químicos que nos enferman. Los plásticos son un problema mucho antes de que lleguen como basura en nuestro océano – desde la extracción, durante el uso, y como desecho – la vida completa de los plásticos son una amenaza a nuestra salud y bienestar. Es hora de alzar la voz y exigir soluciones reales – como un #TratadoDePlásticos fuerte y ambicioso! ¡Únete a nuestra campaña #HastaLaMadreConLosTóxicos y hazle frente a las industrias que nos quieren ver la cara! 📢 Comparte, etiqueta a otras mamás mitoteras y síguenos para tomar acción.
