Microplastic art

Microplastics are everywhere as of late — in the ocean, the air, our foods, and now the human body. Experts weigh in on how to avoid the tiny plastic.

This is why I avoid fish well this in many other reasons! My love the ocean is being destroyed and if there is anything no matter how small I will do it to stop the continue exploit of it and give nothing back attitude these companies have set up a system that we can't change except to eliminate its use completely from our lives for this very reason and others! . . . . #eco #baby #babycare #green #natural #mother #mom #father #dad #guide #ecobynaty #environment #child #care

Have you heard the shocking news? “⁠Microplastic pollution has been detected in human blood for the first time, with scientists finding the tiny particles in almost 80% of the people tested.” @guardian 🩸🩸 ⁠ I’ve been campaigning with “The Plastic Organs” #artivism piece for a while now, and wanted to raise awareness about the latest horrific news! #PlasticInOurBlood.⁠ How insane. We need to stop this madness for our own health! #plasticfreeoceans #plasticfreeliving #reduceplasticwaste…

Back in April, Rob Arnold from Rame Peninsula Beach Care team went for a regular stroll on the usually beautiful Tregantle beach, UK, but instead of calming scenery, he found a blanket of microplastics covering the whole shoreline.

Furniture, clothing and food packaging can all shed tiny particles that can end up in our bodies.

Synthetic fibers could be a wonderful thing. Their production requires far less water than cotton and they don’t require toxic pesticides to grow. But does that make them environmentally friendly? Sadly not.

Are you tired of your trash looking plain-ol' trashy and your food too temporal and foody? ...

There is an urgent need for global action to mitigate the impact of microplastics on the environment and human health do to their pervasive nature. Here are some interesting facts about Microplastics

Microplastics are everywhere scientists have looked for them, from the deepest ocean trenches to mountain peaks. Micro and nano plastics are in our air, water, food, and our own bodies. The recent book “A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies” takes a deep dive into the world of these tiny pollutants laden with thousands of different chemicals. Author Matt Simon joins Host Bobby Bascomb to discuss the dangers and options to address the problem.

As small as a grain of dust—but of great global significance. The word microplastics is familiar to many, but the dangers are virtually unexplored. In recent years, plastic pollution has become an ever-increasing burden on the environment. Countless videos and media reports draw attention to this problem. While the dangers of large plastic pieces for animals are impossible to overlook, there is practically nothing about the dangers posed by microplastics. But what are microplastics anyway?

Have you been up close with plastic microfibers through a microscope? Yes, the very ones that contaminate the oceans and the fish (gulp! - the ones that human consume). #ouroceans #plasticishazardous #saveoceans #plasticmicrofibers Photo courtesy - Ecowatch

A new study has found microplastics in human brains for the first time, raising concerns about the potential health impact.
