one thing I bet you didn’t know is that
every time you wash your fleece jacket
2,000 pieces of plastic gets shed right
into the waterway the plastics are so
small you can’t see them with your naked
eye they’re called micro plastics these
tiny little plastics as they float their
way down the rivers and into our oceans
they’re picking up different chemicals
they act like little sponges picking up
DDT and BPA and pseudo estrogens that
matters because the fish and other
marine life that think that it’s
plankton wind up eating those plastics
bigger fish eat those fish and
eventually the fish make their way onto
our dinner tables and into our beer
we’ve had plastic show up in German beer
this year it’s showing up in honey it’s
showing up in different food products
that should not be contaminated with
plastics what we’ve learned over the
last few years what the science
community has learned over the last few
years is that this is getting into the
water from washing your fleece jackets
it’s washing your synthetic clothing is
in general it’s coming from the
microbeads that are in your face washes
the little blue things that show up in
your toothpaste that we think of as
these miracle scrubbers and all their
plastics and you’re putting plastics
into your mouth into your bloodstream
and then they make their way into our
oceans and into the bloodstream of the
planet
