I don’t really know a lot about how microplastics affect us. I did some more research and I learned that microplastics can affected our weight, skin, are hazardous and increase disease, and causes a insulin resistance.
Hi group!
I've recently read about how using plastic cutting boards that the plastic comes off and goes into the food you are cutting it on can affect your respiratory, digestive, endocrine and also reproductive system. So I immediately went to go buy a wooden cutting board and I feel a lot safer eating my food not having to worry about plastic getting in it.

I do agree how wooden cutting boards are a better alternative and definitely help reduce plastic. But I’ve always thought about the idea of really small wooden pieces getting into the foods I cut. Its hard to find a cheap cutting board that isn’t harmful.
Hey guys!
As the same as Aubrey my family also has solar panels on the top of our roof! solar panels help in many ways, its so much more safer for the earth using solar panels. Solar panels reduce the risk of respiratory diseases, heart diseases and asthma attacks!

I definitely feel like this is a way better of an energy source and I love this. I had no idea that solar panels helped with so many issues!. :)

It’s really scary too think about how much plastic there is and how badly it affects us. I had no idea that plastic could harm people that badly and even cause cancer.
