You Eat a Credit Card’s Worth of Plastic Every Week

The World Wildlife Federation just ran a new study and found we all consume a CREDIT CARD’S worth of plastic every week.  Imagine sitting down and eating a credit card with a knife and fork every Sunday.  That’s our lives.

 

Here are a few more comparisons . . .

1.  In one year, we eat the equivalent of an entire dinner plate’s worth of plastic.

2.  In 10 years, we eat the equivalent of a life saver floatation ring.

3.  And in our lifetime, we eat the equivalent of two dumpsters full of plastic.

 

So . . . how is this affecting us, and how can we stop it?

Scientists don’t know yet how eating so much microplastic affects us or our health . . . but it can’t be great.

 

How do we stop eating so much?  A lot of it comes from pollution, from plastic dumped in the water that affects our drinking water and seafood.  So, you know, join the fight to stop that dumping.
