Welcome to Plastic Protocols

"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it." — Robert Swan

Microplastics and nanoplastics are tiny bits of plastic, so small you can’t see them with just your eyes. Here’s why they could be a problem:

Everywhere: These tiny plastics are all around us. They're in the water we drink, the food we eat, even the air we breathe. This means we're always coming into contact with them, whether we know it or not.

They Build Up: In nature, big fish eat little fish, and so on. Microplastics get passed up this chain, ending up inside bigger animals, including humans. Because they’re so small, they can even get into our bodies in ways that bigger pieces can’t.

Might Carry Bad Stuff: Plastics can hold onto or release chemicals that aren't good for us, like those used to make plastic flexible or hard. When we take in these plastics, we might also be taking in these chemicals, which can mess with our bodies in various ways.

Can Be Harmful: These tiny plastics, especially the really small ones (nanoplastics), might go into our cells. This could cause a kind of damage where our cells get stressed, hurt, or start fighting against something that's not really there, like an infection. Over time, this might lead to health problems.

Not Fully Understood: We don't know everything about how bad they are for us yet. But because we're always around them, there's worry about what they might do to our health over many years.
