Forever chemicals are a persistent group of several thousand chemicals found in everyday products such as non-stick pans and waterproof mascara. They’re entering our ocean every day and putting marine life at risk, with the full extent of the damage not yet known. The Marine Conservation Society is calling for the UK Government to prioritise the protection of the environment from chemical pollution, including a ban of all ‘forever chemicals’ from all non-essential uses.

Francesca is a qualified expert in chemicals, leading the campaign to call for change. She’ll be talking to guest host Zoe Lyons on why these chemicals are so damaging to wildlife, where they’re found and how you can support our latest campaign. You’ll also have a chance to ask any questions you might have about chemical pollution and our work.

The event will be held online over Zoom and the link, plus further details, will be added to this page and emailed to you nearer the time.

This is a free event however if you’re able to make a donation towards our work and campaigns, we’d really appreciate it – www.mcsuk.org/donate
