Today we’re talking about How and WHY to Reduce Plastic Usage in Your Home! It’s a disturbing thought – the billions of microplastics that pollute our oceans can seep into the fish that inhabit them. And when we consume these fish, we are inadvertently also ingesting these harmful microplastics. It’s a vicious cycle that has serious implications for both our health and the environment.

As the world continues to grapple with the issue of plastic waste and its impact on the environment, it’s important to note that our own health is also at risk. Recent studies have shown that humans consume as much as a credit card’s worth of plastic every week, highlighting the need for us to take action to minimize our plastic usage. 

In this episode, we will delve into the various ways in which plastic affects our lives and explore actionable steps we can take to reduce our plastic consumption. I’m also sharing some tips for how to get plastic out of your home.
