Plastic Masculinity

From Denmark: a new campaign for environmental NGO Plastic Change takes inspiration from a recent study that found microplastics in penile tissue in four out of five men undergoing surgery for erectile dysfunction.

The idea, we are told, is to put pressure on the largely male delegates at the ongoing UN Global Plastics Treaty talks “to act decisively against new plastic production - by hitting them where it matters most: the physical manifestation of their masculinity”.
