🧬 Introducing PlasticList 🧬 Last week, Nat Friedman announced testing food in CA for plastic. In turn, I built PlasticList: an open-source UI for Nat's tests. To start, I'm launching a database of all popular food in CA to upvote products to test. Here's why it's a big deal:

Emerging research shows that plastic chemicals inside all of us affect sperm quality, fertility, and cancer risk. The scale is vast and growing. Nat's tests will show our exposure levels, guide new policy, and drive scientific discoveries. But what can you do with PlasticList?

👉 Today: add or upvote things you want tested for chemicals. 👉 Next week: access interactive research summaries. 👉 Soon: analyze Nat's findings, find links to research grants, get a template to petition your rep, and more.

You can search and upvote products from the database at the link below. There are many foods that could be tested. You can help figure out what to test first by suggesting items or voting! Search and upvote here:

I've open-sourced all code for PlasticList. Find it here:

Shoutout to @natfriedman for the inspiration, @evanjconrad for encouraging me to build this, and @chandhana01 for talking to me about plastic chemicals.

@natfriedman Very cool! Maybe you can allow users to crowdfund tests in addition to voting?

@natfriedman thanks! i love the idea of letting people fund the tests. btw, the code is all open if you ever want to contribute!

@natfriedman This sounds very useful!!

@natfriedman thanks Adam!

@natfriedman sick and much needed

@natfriedman thanks!
