No More Plastic

Every April 22, we celebrate the Earth.
But what are we really celebrating? A planet we inhabit…
or a planet we are watching disappear, slowly, before our very eyes?
On April 7, released an image. An “Earthset.”
From 406,000 kilometers away, beyond everything familiar to us, four astronauts looked back at our planet suspended in the void.
Tiny. Fragile. Luminous.
Surrounded by infinite darkness.
Christina Koch put it simply:
what strikes you is not only the beauty of the Earth, it is the vastness of the blackness around it.
That is our reality.
There is no Plan B. No border. No escape.

Fifty-seven years ago, Apollo 8’s “Earthrise” changed humanity forever.
For the first time, we saw ourselves from a distance and we understood.
Today, we are still seeing.
But do we truly understand?
Because while we admire these images, microplastics are invading the air, the oceans, and our bodies.
They trap heat, disrupt natural systems, and contaminate life itself.
This is no longer only an environmental crisis.
It is a public health crisis.
An economic crisis.
A crisis of truth.
Every year, petrochemical-based plastic generates more than $1.5 trillion in health-related costs.
And still, we continue.
To produce. To consume. To look away.
The real paradox is not our ignorance.
It is our lucidity without action.
So no, can no longer be a simple celebration.
It must become a turning point.
Because major transformations are not born from declarations.
They are born from decisions.
From the models we choose to change.
From the systems we choose to rebuild.
That is precisely why Rosalie Mann and Claire Perset created
To move from awareness to action.
To show, concretely and sector by sector, that it is possible to move beyond plastic, and that this transformation is not a constraint, but a driver of value, innovation, and sovereignty.
Because protecting the Earth is no longer about managing plastic better.
It is about moving beyond it.
And because, in the end, the question is no longer: what do we see?
But rather: what will we do, now that we know?

They call phthalates in plastic a “new” risk factor for breast cancer.
But the danger is not new.
What is new is that it is finally being spoken about.
For decades, scientists have warned us.
For decades, phthalates, chemicals found in everyday plastics, from food packaging to soft PVC, have been under scrutiny.
For decades, the signals have accumulated while inaction hid behind doubt, and doubt too often protected industrial comfort more than women’s health.
The recent Taiwanese study published in March in PNAS matters. It strengthens the link between exposure to phthalates, especially DEHP, and the risk of developing breast cancer. But it does not emerge from a vacuum. It confirms long-standing warnings that too many decision-makers have acknowledged without ever truly acting to protect women’s health.
And while reports pile up, women continue to be exposed, younger and younger, through food packaging, beauty products, personal care items, and daily plastic contact.

This is why, with we are organizing a private charity dinner in Cannes during the Film Festival to raise funds.
To raise awareness.
To support research.
To help push for stronger laws on the health impacts of plastics and their chemical components.
To make sure preventable cancers are no longer treated as inevitabilities.
Protecting the future also means protecting women’s bodies.
And protecting women means finally taking seriously what science has been telling us for far too long.
