What can we do to protect ourselves from microplastics?

As we all know, microplastics appear everywhere in our life, including clothes, bottles of
water, and stuff. Thus, we can limit the amount of microplastics absorting into our bodies
by several methods. Firstly, consuming goods made from organic materials such as
cotton, silk clothes or trying to bring your own meal box so that you will not eat food
inside platic boxes. Secondly, you had better not microwave your food in plastic. Heat
can decomposit plastic which can be added to your food. Last but not least, regularly
vacuum your house to prevent dust and microplastic chances to attack your health.
