The sad truth about how our lives are constructed is that plastic is basically an unavoidable part of it. No matter how environmentally conscious you are, you encounter plastic – if not at home, then when you go outside.
The reason why plastic is so widespread is not only because it litters the Earth, but also because it litters our bodies. It was reported that microplastics are found even in the weirdest parts of the human body, which is quite worrisome, as we don’t know how it’ll affect our health in the long run.
