Most microplastic in ocean is acrylic fiber. Put a fine mesh bag over the drain hose on your washing machine. Those fibers a red e from your clothes. Cotton, linen, and rayon fibers are digested as harmless carbohydrates. Synthetic fibers are spun plastic, usually polyester or acrylic. Please dont buy polyester FLEECE or anything acrylic, and wash acryllics as little as possible. Many plastics are engineered to break down into small fragments to reduce the room they take up in landfills. Unfortunately, the plastic is just smaller and more likely to end up as microplastics.
I would never use rock salt. It’s processed with trace amounts of rat poison, bleach to make it white, and then coated in sugar so it doesn’t stick together. And tap water is highly contaminated in rat poison. Read your bottle label, too--if it says “from a municipal source,” it’s tap water. Sounds like the tea solution is just to take it out of the bag and put it in a metal mesh tea ball. Even paper tea bags have bleach in them if the paper is white. --Love how you showed the Starbucks tea for this. Their coffee making process has also garnered them a legally required cancer warning in California.
you do know that we are all breathing in microplastics right now, right? i'd rather you focus on reducing the source of microplastics, rather than trying to avoid their effects. humans reap what they sow, you know.
Wow, talk about random luck: I don't drink tea, I don't like salt, I don't like sea food, I filter my water, and I don't use plastic water bottles. I am sure it's in all the other stuff that I consume as well but it's nice to know I avoid the top offenders.
I've seen another video that said even the TEABAGS that appear to just be PAPER, have PLASTIC in them!!! That person suggested buying bulk tea or cutting open the teabags and putting them in a Teaball or infuser. Course, the latter doesn't take care of the problem of plastic waste and plastic production that's toxic.
I miss waxed paper and when frozen produce was in cardboard instead of plastic bags and caps were metal instead of plastic, and milk cartons and juice cartons were just folded with glue instead of using plastic caps. Most people in younger generations don't even know about these options. The plastic industry has been pushing their products in the name of being less expensive for that long.
Everything we spend money on contributes to this problem. The clothes we wear and wash. The detergent used to wash those close. Where that cleaning water runs off to. The life that lives in that water and moves it’s way up the food chain to our plates. And that’s one of the simple cycles. We are now a plastic world. So many don’t know. More don’t seem to care. The ones that know and care barely know what can be done about it.
I remember a time when people used loose tea. Even though they'd been around a long tome when i was born in 68, most adults around me used a pot and loose tea, which is so much nicer. People adapt to a change in habit well. We started recycling with no issue. So if we had opportunity to take our own containers and have them filled with produce, lots of people would prefer this. Its been tried a few times in my city since the 80s, and i think its often regulations that make it impossible to continue as a business. The controllers love using cancer causing plastics, they want us sick and in early graves.
Most micro plastics are from lint fibers that get flushed into local waterways when we wash our clothes. It's Insane how much of our clothing is made from plastics.
Fun fact: half of all the plastics in the ocean is from commercial fishing. So eating less or no more fish has more benefits than not using plastic straws and everything else.
Honestly, this problem can be solved by good government, we cant rely on citizen much, most world population is poor, people don't care about stuff like these coz they strugling to eat everyday, most of them even don't care if the food they ate healthy or not.
But yet they don't give you a list of bottle water brands for one could stop drinking them. Well it's time to do my own research or just keep drinking them.🤷🏻♀️

I wish they would stop selling bottled water. With some many pitcher/filters out their, there really is no need for it anymore. I am a huge tea drinker, so will definitely have to see if my bags are paper, if not, guess I'll be switching to loose tea. We also are switching from our reusable plastic cups to, stainless steel ones from Green Steel & the come with stainless steel straws with a brush to clean the straws. Manufacturers need to go back to using glass, as well, for beer/soda bottles. In P.A. we have beer distributers & the have/had return programs. Once you were done with a case, you returned it to the distributer, you got a deposit back on next case(s) (which were made of wood, although Bamboo would now be a better sustainable source) they sent it back to the manufacturer & the bottles were sanitized/disinfected & then refilled.
Toxins are all around us and in everything we consume. All we can really do on an individual level is not worry about it. Chronic worry is far more dangerous to your health.
Mostly non recyclable plastic containers at that. Drives me crazy! And most people dont know those aren't recycling symbols on all that plastic, they are resin codes. And only numbers 1 and 2 have any chance at being recycled in most areas.
And they’ll be truly recycled only if they’re in the form of bottles. The plastics used in clamshells, buckets and similar food packaging are different in properties from the ones used to make bottles, and most buyers of recycled 1 and 2 only want the bottle form. In most places, those number 1 food tubs and clamshells will not be bought for reuse. So, avoid buying food packaged in them when you can.

This just put the hammer 2da nail on da coffin to BIG oil & gas. Stop buying bottled water, putting groceries in plastic bags, & using plastic straws. Boycott all their lobbying, and reject their drawdown periods with absolute abolish & abandonment.
What most people don’t realize is that they somewhat arbitrarily decided to also label rubber pollution “microplastics”. I guess because already had a negative image. But plastic and rubber aren’t the same thing. They’re different kinds of polymers.
If I can’t get loose tea, I empty the tea contents from the bags I have switched to herbal teas…. No milk I mainly use Himalayan salt I only use extra Virgin olive oil, in a glass bottle Don’t use plastic containers, only glass. Just a few changes I’ve made.
Yes it's true tea bags have plastic so we can use tea infusers they are safe and also do not produce any waste and there are lot of startups who are working to reduce this as woolah tea true dip it's basically provide no packaging of tea bags and we can also have varities of tea flavour . So if anyone wants they can order this from their website.
Be responsible for yourself first. Get a glass or metal bottle and filter your own water. Don’t wait for the slow and or lazy government to do it for you.
Good video but adding what amounts to reaction GIFS in the middle of the video didn't really add anything and were annoying. Idk about others but I'd prefer less of that if possible Thank you
What is the logic with 1 litre water bottles... Why don't the companies make 2 litre bottles... I mean... With such huge bottled water consumption... Why don't the consumers have a choice!!!
With all that being said there’s nothing we can do about it. When you think back to early Man forging their own food having a hunt & gather foods, I am sure they weren’t thinking of the amount of bacteria, disease or fecal matter or anything hatching within the skin of the animal they’re just about to consume for dinner. We pretty much have it better off than man has ever had it and if that means consuming an infantecimal amount of micro plastics I’m pretty sure I can live with it

If thats city water there is probably microplastic in your water supply
Conclusion: "you're f'ed! If you wanna avoid microplastics, jump out of high window"
This just put the hammer 2da nail on da coffin to BIG oil & gas. Stop buying bottled water, putting groceries in plastic bags, & using plastic straws. Boycott all their lobbying, and reject their drawdown periods with absolute abolish & abandonment.
Tea, salt, seafood, beer, and water
So much plastic is produced with no thought to the consequences.
Can you link your sources?
…. We’re f**ked. Thanks humanity.
What happens if you filter your water with a plastic filter because everything is made with plastic probably the filters????
Although microplastics consumption is a serious issue, it is a delight when you put a movie clip for comedic relief!
but tea bags have to come in fabric or cloth cotton type matrials
Thank you soooo much I appreciate it so much god bless🇵🇷👍
What most people don’t realize is that they somewhat arbitrarily decided to also label rubber pollution “microplastics”.
I guess because already had a negative image. But plastic and rubber aren’t the same thing. They’re different kinds of polymers.
If I can’t get loose tea, I empty the tea contents from the bags
I have switched to herbal teas…. No milk
I mainly use Himalayan salt
I only use extra Virgin olive oil, in a glass bottle
Don’t use plastic containers, only glass.
Just a few changes I’ve made.
Thank You . . .
Can't win for losing!!!! It's so discouraging!
Yes it's true tea bags have plastic so we can use tea infusers they are safe and also do not produce any waste and there are lot of startups who are working to reduce this as woolah tea true dip it's basically provide no packaging of tea bags and we can also have varities of tea flavour . So if anyone wants they can order this from their website.
Be responsible for yourself first. Get a glass or metal bottle and filter your own water. Don’t wait for the slow and or lazy government to do it for you.
Why don’t you explain how these plastics get in?
Good video but adding what amounts to reaction GIFS in the middle of the video didn't really add anything and were annoying. Idk about others but I'd prefer less of that if possible
Thank you
If you have enough microplastics in your brain they become very enjoyable.
We are so screwed
What is the logic with 1 litre water bottles... Why don't the companies make 2 litre bottles... I mean... With such huge bottled water consumption... Why don't the consumers have a choice!!!
Because they sell more that way, more quantity at elevated prices.
Consumers don’t have a choice because all they need us for is to buy the product... not have an opinion about it.
I didn't even know they made plastic tea bags. I thought all tea bags were made of papers or fabrics.
I've got.. I've got some bad ideas in my head...
Our bodies will eventually get used to it.
"5 everyday foods contain plastic"
*3 OF THEM ARE DRINKS*
thanks for the video it never occured to me that my tea bags had plastic in them but like... of course they must lmao
What about the plastic filters he says to use for water?
Seafood. Just concentrates as it goes up the food chain.
With all that being said there’s nothing we can do about it. When you think back to early Man forging their own food having a hunt & gather foods, I am sure they weren’t thinking of the amount of bacteria, disease or fecal matter or anything hatching within the skin of the animal they’re just about to consume for dinner. We pretty much have it better off than man has ever had it and if that means consuming an infantecimal amount of micro plastics I’m pretty sure I can live with it
Uhh id rather be a caveman i think
It should be "microplastic particles" not just "microplastics"
It shouldn't be either
@@ThineLesser what would you suggest? I thought that would be the most accurate with the least changes as possible
@@Xactenergy I recommend food with no plastic in it
