What's The Effects Of Microplastics On Human Biology/Wildlife?
Can plastic trash effect our lifestyle, our health, and even our ability to navigate relationships? Most people would agree "recyclable" should not mean to include self-harming pollutions too, but oil companies have the upper for now, at the cost of global bio-health. Composting is nature's incredibly efficient version of recycling. Ahh.. that feels more natural!
Yeah, throwing contaminating things in the trash without knowing if those things will be safely and indefinitely contained or if it will be let loose into the water/air/soil and circulate in our biosphere can subconsciously lead us into the habit of improperly dealing with personal, political, & social community issues too, perpetuating fear, isolation, assumptions, and incompatible/extreme biases against anyone with an uncomfortably different perspective than us on issues like pollution that affect everyone. The root? Did you ever think about how plastic containers and disposable packaging can chemically contaminate our foods, beverages, and life-supporting environment!? (you can even taste it when plastic water bottles gets hot), and that pollutant even makes it through the planet's water cycles when tossed into landfills and the ocean directly! Even properly recycled plastics become a pollution because still legal for new plastic production to be cheaper than recycled-material-processing. Plastics contain chemicals that cause free-radical damage to your cells and 7X your chance of becoming infertile(no babies), that likelihood growing each year with the amount of pollutants intentionally, or knowingly produced for someone's profit! more and more, people will need fertility drugs to reproduce and those drugs likely come in plastic bottles right now(-Epidemiologist Shanna Swann) Wait! What? Yeah! Do some research or conduct your own test yourself! Now I bet you're thinking plastics are the last you want to use for your food, drinks, and for any industry really! If you really don't want to risk becoming an environmental/biological/ecological activist for political/personal/social reasons, Just stick with bio-compatible food containers like wood, steel, glass, reuse those store-bought glass jars and take washable cotton(or other natural fiber) bags to zero-waste stores, the produce/bulk-food areas, and farmers markets at least, study GMOs or stick with organics, and start having a relationship with reality, not indoctrinated blind-faith...
