Everyone knows that there is plastic all over the place. But, beyond the obvious bottles, bags, and more, there is actually plastic hiding in many more items than you think.
If you want to do good for the environment and your health, stay away from these products with hidden plastics.
Clothes
A lot of clothes actually have plastic in them, especially ones that come out of fast fashion. Fast fashion are items and stores that have clothing that can be made quickly to fit the trends, but in making them so quickly, the quality of the clothes are being sacrificed and often have plastic fillers.
Gum
Even though gum is chewed around in your mouth and sometimes even swallowed, most gums on the markets have plastic inside them. This makes the gum able to be chewed and never broken down, so make sure you pass on the gum next time someone offers it.
Sea Salt
This one is on us because companies actually are not actively put plastic into their sea salts. The reason why there is plastic in salt is that there is so much plastic pollution in the ocean, the particles end up contaminating the water where the salt is extracted from.
