MICROPLASTICS

 

Plastic is causing havoc in our lives

More than that is microplastics

Plastic doesn't decompose like others

It breaks into very very tiny particles.

 

When size gets smaller than five mm

It spreads in any other medium

If in ocean it affects aquatic lives

If in air it pollutes food for birds.

 

It affects even our lives in many ways

It comes from plastic bags, fish nets

Clothes food containers even tea bags

If inhaled or swallowed, it affects our lungs

Stomach neck and even heart muscles.

 

Microplastics themselves are not safe

Toxic chemicals hitch onto surface

These cause bacterial and fungal infection

They remain in intestine causing complication.

 

What can we do to be free from illness

Avoid all kinds of plastic - bottles

Cutting boards disposable containers

Use wood glass or steel utensils.

 

Use organic or freshly washed foods

Do physical and breathing exercises

Increase fiber intake in diet

Use filtered water and put all to rest.
