👀 If you could see microplastics, you would see them EVERYWHERE.
Microplastics have been found in the 🌬️air we breathe, the 🍏food we eat, and even in 🫁organs and 🩸blood.
The only way to reduce microplastics is to cut plastic production.

Just a reminder #plasticpollution is not a new issue. Scientists found it in birds in the 1960s and described ocean plastics in the early 1970s, with reports in media like the NYTimes and Washington Post. The #plastics industry knew.
