We’ve been a bit quiet here lately — and that’s on us.

The past months have been full on behind the scenes, but we realised something: it’s time you hear more directly from us. From the people building this. From PlanetCare’s founder, Mojca.

So here’s a first one.

My son turned 18 this week, and it made me think about something we don’t talk about enough — not careers, not success, but the kind of work that actually shapes a life.

For a long time, I had what many would consider a good job. Stable, predictable, comfortable. But if I’m honest, it was also quietly draining. I only understood that once I experienced the opposite.

Because the truth is, most work takes energy from you. But the right work does something else — it pulls you forward. Even when it’s hard, even when progress is slow. Because you know it matters.

If there’s one thing I hope for my son as he steps into adulthood, it’s not an easy path. It’s that he finds work that feels like that.

That’s what building PlanetCare has been for me.

And if you’re here, you’re already part of that story. Every wash with your filter means fewer microfibers entering our water systems. No big headlines, no big gestures — just small, real impact, repeated over time.

That’s how change actually happens.

And I’m curious — have you found work that fulfills you? What does that look like for you?

Maggie Aderin-Pocock said in an interview for Financial Times this weekend:
"When we see our planet from space, it changes our perspective completely. We see it as smaller and vulnerable and in need of protection, whereas when we are here we drop bombs and argue and squabble. It can be a unifying thing."

It should be a unifying thing.

Since most of us will never see Earth from space let me take you to Christmas Eve 1968 when during the Apollo 8 mission, the first ever colour photograph of Earth was taken. Earthrise. A blue and white swirled miracle suspended above grey lunar dust. The astronauts saw our entire world as a single fragile sphere, and that perspective shift changed everything. From orbit, pollution has no nationality. Climate systems ignore borders. Environmental damage in one region ripples across the entire globe. The divisions we defend so fiercely on the ground simply don't exist from above.

We live down here, in the squabbling. In the complexity. In laundry rooms and traffic jams and endless small choices that feel too mundane to matter. But they do.

Last year, at a conference in San Francisco, I met another wise woman. Shana Swan was presenting on endocrine-disrupting chemicals in plastics, and after her talk, I rushed to her babbling about how I hoped her research would finally make people take this seriously. How maybe the threat to human health (especially male s***m) would shift our perspective where environmental devastation hadn't. She listened to me patiently. Then she took my hand. "One Health, my dear. There is just One Health."

The health of nature, the health of animals, the health of humans—it's one very same thing. Intertwined so intricately it cannot be separated from one another.

Two wise women. One reminding us to see our planet whole—small, vulnerable, precious. The other reminding us that we cannot separate ourselves from what we're protecting. That there is no "nature over there" and "us over here." Just one interwoven system of life.

This year, you acted on that understanding. Not from space, not from laboratories, but from your homes.

You understood the connection. Between water and soil. Between soil and food. Between food and bodies. Between your choices and someone else's future.
Down here, we still drop bombs. We still argue. We still squabble.

As Christmas Eve approaches, 57 years after astronauts first showed us that blue marble hanging in darkness, think about what unites us. We all live on that same small sphere. We all breathe the same air. We all drink from the same water. We are all part of One Health. There is no "us versus them”, there is only us.

My wish for you: peace, unity, health, and joy across all of our beautiful planet we call home.

Thank you for being part of this journey. For seeing the connections. For choosing protection even when it's inconvenient. For understanding that down here, in the mundane and the daily, is where the real work happens.

😱 THIS IS WHY YOUR CLOTHES MIGHT BE MAKING YOU SICK

Scientists made men wear different underwear for a study. The results were shocking:
Men wearing POLYESTER had their hormones crash so badly, their s***m count dropped by 50%.
When they switched to COTTON? Everything went back to normal.
But here’s what’s scarier: If polyester can mess with reproductive hormones that badly, what’s it doing to the hormones that control your blood sugar? 🤔
The Truth About Your Laundry:
• Every wash releases 496,030 microfibers
• You’re eating 52,000 plastic particles a year
• They’re now finding microplastics in human BLOOD
• These plastics carry chemicals linked to diabetes
That workout gear you love? Those stretchy leggings? That moisture-wicking shirt?
They’re all releasing hormone-disrupting chemicals every. single. wash. 😰
THE GOOD NEWS: You can stop 98% of these toxic fibers from entering your water RIGHT NOW.
We’ve helped 520,000 families protect their health with PlanetCare filters. Takes 10 minutes to install. Works on any washing machine.

🎸Absolutely have to share this with you – the loveliest review of our filter, coming from 🎶 The Beatles Story museum in Liverpool. Here’s what they had to say: 👇

"At The Beatles Story, we are proud to share our positive experience with PlanetCare following our recent purchase of a washing machine filter for our facilities. As a visitor attraction welcoming over 300K guests each year, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously and strive to ensure that sustainability is at the heart of our operations.
The filter provides a practical and effective way of preventing microfibres from entering our waterways, helping us to "Come Together" in protecting the planet for future generations. We particularly appreciate PlanetCare’s circular approach, offering a cartridge return system that aligns perfectly with our own commitment to responsible practices. Much like the message behind “All You Need Is Love,” their work demonstrates that small, collective actions can create real change.
PlanetCare is helping us play our part, reminding us that the earth is something we can all “get by with a little help” to protect. We highly recommend PlanetCare to other organisations seeking reliable, innovative, and environmentally conscious solutions."

What is there to add?

Absolutely nothing, except a big THANK YOU to all our friends 🎶 and a heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters.💚

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” Jane Goodall. So much more than a primatologist and the legendary animal rights advocate.

She was pure love, compassion and empathy. For nature, for all living beings. Her moral compass will be missed and the world without her will not be the same any more.

Thank you for all your wisdom and your precious legacy. We promise... we will bother!

“We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place--or not to bother.”

Well,... sure. There’s always that possibility. To have your blood filtered. 😳😵‍💫 Maybe not everyone can afford the price, but still - the option is available. We’d imagine there are still sufficient amounts of microplastics stored in Mr. Bloom’s brain, testicles, lungs,... but he did have some of it eliminated from his blood.

May we instead suggest to filter your laundry, the shed synthetic microfibres, at their source, at the washing machine, before they enter our waterways, our food chain and our bodies💚💙? 35% of microplastics in the oceans come from textiles, those being the largest single source of ocean microplastics worldwide! The solution really is simple. Start with a microfibre filter at your washing machine.😌

Dear friend.
 
I have a confession to make: I'm not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day. The commercialism and clichés just don't resonate with me. Not to mention all that single use plastic wrapping 🤦‍♂️
 
However, there's one thing I can't let pass by without expressing – my heartfelt appreciation for you.
 
Your commitment to using our microfiber filter is making a real difference in our fight to save the planet. Your actions are helping to reduce microplastic pollution and protect our precious waterways. For that, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
 
So, while I may not be celebrating Valentine's Day in the traditional sense, I am celebrating you and the positive impact you're making. Together, we're creating a cleaner, greener world.
 
With gratitude and love,
Mojca Zupan, CEO and Founder of Planetcare

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but ...

In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers looked at how microplastics and nanoplastics in our blood vessels can influence our cardiovascular health. And the results are not very optimistic.

Microplastics may actually increase your chance for a heart attack or other cardiovascular problems. Read more about it here:

This one goes to the "I can't believe it's true" section ...

Did you know that animals that were collected from the ocean back in the 1970s contain microplastics?

Check the video by Simon Dures:

Did you know that the National Museum of Scotlan holds an extensive collection of organisms, you could call it a library of biodiversity (the collection includes 4 million marine invertebraes 🤯), some dating back decades. And what's even more surprising: specimens from the seventies already conta...

Our team members making sure that one of our commercial microfibre filters makes it safely to its final destination😍. We are immensely proud of our partnership with Sea Shepherd - this filter was shipped yesterday and will be installed in one of their vessels. The organisation that defends, conserves and protects the world’s ocean has been using our domestic filters for a while already, but this is the first time one of the vessels in their fleet will use our commercial filter. Grateful and happy!
To a better and healthier planet. Thank you!
