Plastic pollution is everywhere. Over the past half-decade, we have been exposed to scenes of marine life entangled in fishing nets, suffocated by plastic carrier bags, or ingesting plastic threatens them.
Plastic has made its way into our food and water supplies, with studies reporting plastic particles in human placenta, human lungs, and most recently, human blood. As we await robust scientific evidence into what this means for wellbeing, we need to begin considering our interaction with, and use of, plastic products.
