I wish I had know this information earlier in my life. I used to get SO excited about recycling, because it is marketed as a solution. It's not though, it's a way to make us think we did our part and everything else disappears. There are so many harms from plastics, and yes microplastics are terrifying and a scourge on our planet! I'm grateful you're adding to this category and mentioned avoiding purchasing plastic as a Dream Green Dreams option. Thanks for the great info, link, and to BBC too!

Visuals like this make it easy to see that there are alternatives to our harm. The left side is all about convenience, not about essential needs or survival. Such clear look at this via sustainable swap options, great resource find!
