Planet vs Plastics - Overview of the Impact of Plastics on Our Planet and Our Health | Aidan Charron

Plastics are a part of our everyday lives, yet problematic to our planet and health. Most of the plastic waste that’s generated ends up in landfills, waterways, and oceans. Since plastic doesn’t biodegrade, it breaks down into minuscule pieces, also known as microplastics, that end up in the soil, water, and air. Eventually these microplastics are ingested by animals and humans which can potentially alter hormone functions and significantly damage cells in the human body that can lead to serious health effects. The battle against plastics starts with us and the more knowledge we have, the more power we have.
