Season of Creation – Think About Plastic Use

From Caring for Creation September 1 through October 1 is known as the Season of Creation. During this Season of Creation, think about plastic, especially microplastics. Defined as plastic pieces less than 5 mm in size, designed not to break down, microplastics are ubiquitous across the marine environment. Microplastics come from the break down of larger plastic litter, clothing, personal care products etc. Eaten by marine animals microplastics cause physical damage and poisoning and end up consumed by humans. What can we do? Besides talking about the problem and pushing government and businesses to action, consider the plastic diet as described in https://www.plastichealthcoalition.org/plastic-diet/
