I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.

I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

#Clean50 #emergingleader Lauren Smith works with her #startup @PolyGoneTech to identify and eliminates microplastics in... your beer! #alumni #AquaHacking #SourceOfSolutions https://t.co/iJz2cDPKBP

[Plastic Action Centre @PlasticActionCA]

It's known that #macroplastics continue to cause detrimental effects to wildlife, however the impacts of #microplastics is still unclear & very complex. Great article by @ChelseaRochman & @kennedybucci1. Give it a read!

[Beat the Microbead @BeatTheBead]

You’re likely taking in tiny particles of #plastics every time you eat, drink and breathe 😰 #Microplastics result from the breakdown into ever smaller bits of everyday plastic discards, like packaging, children’s toys, and cosmetics & synthetic clothing. https://t.co/Ryp8AucxYq

[Ocean Clean Wash @OceanCleanWash]

Microfibers from synthetic clothing end up in water and in fish. This is bad news for wildlife because synthetic materials like #polyester, acrylic, & spandex contain dyes & chemicals. https://t.co/04SbKwt1AI

Microfibers are also ingested by animals and may affect our #health 😕

Know a #wrawesome youth who is interested in learning how to engage in #climateaction? tell them to check out the upcoming Youth Policy Jam on January 25 in #WIlmotAwesome organized by @KindredCU, @YouthClimateLab & WGSI. https://t.co/3DT6aQbJxM #watreg #kwawesome #badenON
