Just one Publics said they can go through thousands of plastic bags in a day. Here is one link that talks about how serious this problem has gotten. It's our new DDT.How microplastics are infiltrating the food you eat . There are now studies beiing done of earthworms ingesting micro-plastics. ScienceDirect
Do you not use plastic bags in your trash receptacle in your house ?
What is your trash and recycling
bins made of ?
Do you not drive a car with plastic
components in it ?
Do you use bath towels with a blend of cotton and plastic ?
How about your washer and dryer , any plastic ?
How bout paper towels ?
Golf cart ?
Shoes ?
Clothing ?
You might rethink what you’re buying .if your really concerned about plastics in
Our environment. .
Not meant to be disrespectful, most people don’t realize what
items in our houses and cars are made out of plastic , besides grocery bags .
