For example, I saved a bunch of these small cardboard sheets that were separating the rows of cans in a box of cat food.
Add some glue and you have a little tent for your cat.
Microplastics have entered the body
Yeah the fast food cup thing bothers me a bit, personally. I don't typically get fast food, but if I did I would just bring a reusable cup. (Do fast food places allow their use? Idk, I don't get fast food, but my coffee shop uses my cup.)
It's funny that everyone makes such a big deal out of those single use plastics. I mean, yes we should not have single use plastics, it's a terrible idea. But it's also a really small percentage of our total plastic waste. You want to end micro plastics? You need to talk to the textiles industry. The vast majority of micro plastics come from two places, synthetic cloth (polyester clothing, blankets, towels, etc) and from car tires. If we could find effective, affordable, biodegradable materials to make car tires out of, that would be huge. But we already have those materials for clothing, we just need to ban polyester & other synthetics.
