dianefrank+FollowStop microwaving leftovers in plastic!Heating up your holiday leftovers in plastic containers could be doing more harm than you think. Experts say over 16,000 chemicals are found in plastics, and a quarter of them are toxic to humans and the environment. These chemicals can leach into your food—even at room temperature or when frozen—posing risks like hormone disruption. Switching to glass or ceramic for food storage and reheating is a simple step that can make a real difference for your health. Have you made the switch yet, or is plastic still part of your kitchen routine? Let’s talk about what works for you! #Food #HealthTips #PlasticFree00Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowPlastic That Vanishes—No Microplastics Left!This is wild: Japanese scientists just made a plant-based plastic that totally breaks down in the ocean—no microplastics, no pollution, nada. It’s made from cellulose (the stuff plants are full of), and it’s as tough as regular plastic but disappears without a trace. Imagine a world where plastic waste isn’t a thing! Fingers crossed this hits the real world soon, because our planet seriously needs it. #Science #PlasticFree #Innovation10Share
