Microplastics, Baha Givehki, 2020
Packages in general have always bothered me because many items seem to be wrapped in plastic instead of more environmentally-friendly alternatives. After some research on plastic packaging, I learned of its slow and negative impact on our delicious food.
People across the world unwittingly consume plastic particles, known as microplastics, through the daily food that they ingest. The reason why these foods are contaminated with microplastics is due to the incorrect disposal of used plastic. This made me consider the plastic problems that revolve around consumable products.
Altogether, I want the audience to understand the negative impacts that come from plastic packaging and highlight the fact that the wrongful disposal of single-use plastics can ultimately lead to having our everyday food to be contaminated.
