      You may not be able to remove them but by reducing usage we can make sure that future generations won’t have this problem.

      The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today.

        We don’t.

        You can get them out but it’s highly invasive and involves putting your body in the hands of a mad scientist.

          It’s actually really easy. You just bleed a whole bunch then consume foods and drinks without microplastics in them so your body regenerates new blood without microplastics. Then you wait for that blood to pick up some microplastics from you body and bleed a whole bunch again and repeat that process to keep reducing the amount of micro plastics in your body.

          The key part is to just make sure you aren’t being exposed to any micro plastics at all while you’re doing that which is basically impossible to do so good luck.
