You may be eating, drinking or breathing 74,000 to 121,000 particles of plastic every year, according to researchers.
We all know about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and the spread of microplastic across the globe, including massive amounts deep in the oceans.
Now scientists are pointing out just how much plastic is in us.
Even in our beer!
If environmental destruction wasn’t enough to get people to limit their use of plastics, let’s hope contaminated beer will spur them to change their ways . . . and help save the planet in the process.
