Microplastics Are Everywhere — Here’s How to Fight Back!

In this episode of Live Sustainably, Anastasia uncovers the hidden threat of microplastics—what they are, how they affect our health, and what we can do to protect ourselves and future generations. From lung and blood contamination to plastic in everyday fabrics, we’re only beginning to understand the true impact of these tiny pollutants. But there is hope—because with every small shift, we can reduce harm and take back control.

This episode explores:
Where microplastics come from—and where they’re showing up
Why they’re harmful to our bodies and immune systems
What we can reject today to reduce exposure
How to protect our families through smarter material choices

Your choices matter—and together, we can shape a safer, healthier future.
