Microplastics are everywhere. In the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. In this episode, Morgan talks with Microplastics researcher Dana about how microplastics affect our health and the environment. Dana breaks down the science behind primary and secondary microplastics, explains how everyday items like tires and plastic products contribute to the problem, and shares practical ways we can all reduce our plastic footprint. Learn why microplastics are a growing threat to food security and plant growth, and discover the hope in knowing that small changes, combined with community and governmental action, can reverse their effects.
