How To Avoid Microplastics In Your Life
CHICAGO - JULY 27: Bottle of Pepsi's Aquafina water sits on a shelf next to other brands of bottled water at a Walgreens store July 27, 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. Pepsi announced today that the labels on its Aquafina water will be changed to say the product is tap water. Coke acknowledged in 2004 that its Dasani water was tap water.

Avoiding microplastics? I don’t even know what a microplastic is!
Microplastics are the tiny particles that are floating around in the air and in water supplies.
So how can you limit your microplastic intake? Here are some tips:
1. Avoid bottled water. Studies show tap water has less plastics than bottled.
2. Don’t microwave food that is in a plastic container.
3. Eat fresh food. Food that is pre-prepared and cased in plastic likely has more microplastics.
4. Dust frequently.
