Non-Toxic Questions to Ask: Plastic Edition
What are microplastics?
Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than five millimeters long that pollute the environment.
Why are microplastics harmful?
Plastic bags, bottles and many other wastes are causing widespread harm to humans, marine and coastal ecosystems. Studies link microplastics to increased heart attack/stroke risk in those with heart disease, and dementia. Microplastics can carry toxic chemicals and pollutants, disrupting hormones and reproduction.
How can I avoid microplastics?

(1) Avoid plastic packaging. Opt for reusable water bottles, food containers, bags, and straws instead of single-use plastic alternatives
(2) Use wood, glass, or metal cutting boards, utensils, and containers instead of plastic
(3) Don't heat or store hot food in plastic (ever)
(5) Filter your water
(6) Dust and vacuum regularly, microplastics can accumulate in dust
