Before this class, I was using mainly plastic tupperware to store leftover food. However, I soon found out that plastic packaging is one of the main causes for microplastics entering our body. I now prioritize purchasing foods that limit or do not include plastic packaging. Additionally, I now store food in glass containers to limit plastic contamination. I have noticed that I have been healthier as a result of this!
Ever since I started using glass containers I realized how much cleaner it is. I never really looked much into microplastics and how they affect you and your food.
