ACTIONS TO AVOID MICROPLASTICS
We know microplastics can affect our health. Here are hints to avoid many of them.
Eliminate single-use plastics and replace them with reusable bags, glass storage and take-away containers, metal straws, bamboo utensils and mesh bags for produce.
Replace bottled water with stainless steel and bring it with you. Consider a kitchen water filter.
Never heat food in plastic containers. Eliminate plastic spatulas, cutting boards and coated pans. Avoid microwave popcorn (plastic coated bags).
Eliminate plastic food wrap and trash can liners (use beeswax bowl covers and compostable bags).
Avoid plastic packaging. Shop farmers markets. Purchase bulk foods, buy nonsynthetic clothes. Read contents on beauty and health products.
Stay away from chemical “great smelling products” like candles, sprays and ”car scent trees.”
