Most People Consume Plastic on a Daily Basis

Discarded plastic — both large and microscopic — circles the globe, choking our oceans and harming wildlife, ultimately finding its way onto your plate and into your body, where it can accumulate over time. A number of studies have now revealed we are both eating and drinking microplastic particles. For example, one-third of the fish caught in the English Channel contain microbeads, as do 83 percent of scampi sold in the U.K.1 Most sea salt also contains plastic fragments.
