The only way to reduce micro plastics is to reduce plastic production. We need to go with paper bags and glass jars or aluminum cans, bamboo straws, etc. the more we reduce, the fewer micro plastics we will add to the environment. I don't know how dangerous these micro plastics are to life, but I am sure our children will find out.

You may not be able to remove them but by reducing usage we can make sure that future generations won't have this problem.
