Reasons being, it costs money, which we don’t have much of, and what we can use freely, best goes to my partner since her platform here has better traffic. With that being said, I’m going to try again and hope that people care enough for themselves and others to give me a try, or maybe another try.

Micro-plastics have been around since plastic was made. Over the years and decades, it has permeated everything we consume, wear and even breathe. Micro-plastics are in the sewers, and when sewage slowly evaporates, those plastics are as light as most gasses and goes into the air, where they go into the clouds, where fine dirt particles reside that aid in the formation of rainwater that falls onto us. That rainwater goes into aquifers, ponds, and reservoirs that are used to make drinking water, and water for washing bodies, clothes, dishes, and more.

So where does it all start? It all starts in every manufacturing plant anywhere. Plastics are used to make almost everything you see around you; from leather, to wool, package slips, and seals, to items that are made of glass. These micro-plastics are made in areas used to make other things, and since these plastics are finer than dust, they float off with barely a breath, and waft away when people brush or blow them off workstations.
