Plastic is the wonder of the age. With it we can make anything from soda bottles to guns and automobiles. It’s everywhere. Really everywhere. Even in sea salt. We intake it in multiple ways: chemicals leach into our food and drinks from plastic containers, particles from plastic clothing come in to our water supply as they are washed, plastic waste of all types and sizes comes finally to the ocean. And in the end, once it’s in the environment, it’s almost impossible to remove, like the particles in our water supply which cannot be cleaned by our water treatment systems.
