3. No longer buying skincare products or toothpaste with polypropylene or polyethylene in the ingredients list. These are microplastics – our water systems can’t filter them out so they end up in the sea, getting eaten. First by tiny organisms, which in turn get eaten by bigger organisms and fish, which in turn get eaten by big fish and pelagic mammals, like dolphins and seals. But also like Cod and Tuna. These plastics build up in the food chain and cause big problems for the creatures that ingest them because, obviously, plastic is not digestible. And what are the creatures at the top of the Cod and Tuna food chains? Yup! You got it! That’s us. You and Me. Mmmmm tasty, tasty plastic... It’s also not great stuck under your gums, which is where it ends up if you use toothpastes containing microplastics.
